Sea Sinkin'

I sank and I kept sinking

like lead had filled my bones

and when I cracked the surface all my muscles started shrinking.

It was then that I did some thinking

and when I passed 100 feet the lead was joined by stones

yes I sank and I kept sinking.

Deeper depths brought deeper breaths and my eyes began to blinking

silence was broken by a whale and her far -off sad sea moan

I thought when I cracked the surface I felt my muscles start to shrinking

but it might have only been my mind and the souls I had been drinking

for nothing gets me so damn mad as you faceless on your throne

So I sank and I kept sinking.

Yes all things sultry are kept deep down and their lashes stopped from winking

And modest scripture keeps it blessed etched on dear tombstone

How strange to have felt just then my muscles begin their shrinking…

But all is even when eyes go blank and corpses start their stinking

There are no lips to sweetly kiss underground and all alone

So I’ll sink and keep on sinking.
