Barnacles Lyrics

Barnacles

i don't really need to see,

so i don't need to see so i'll paint,

i don't know, i'll paint it black.

i don't need to see,

i don't see how you see out of your window,

i don't need to see, i'll paint mine black.

i don't know me and you don't know you,

so we fit so good together cuz i knew you like i knew myself.

we clung on like barnacles on a boat,

even though the ship sinks  you know  you can't let go.

i was talking like two hands knocking,

saying '"let me in, let me in, please come out."

black glass, dirt-based soap,

tell yourself what you know.

my friends, oh my friends,

bury your head i'll help you bury your plans.

hard hit, hard to miss, problems are what a problem is.

my light came up quick, call it your asterisk,

buried like boys in a boys first book of the stars

saw it as satellite, constant unblinking as,

buried in the bottom of a bottom of a blackish lake.
