Blue Boy

Heavy hand upon my throat
The strangler leaves no mark
Gasp into the dark I see
Not a whisper there to drink
Not a whisper there to drink
But a wisp across my lips
I think
I think

Blue boy in the bathysphere
The air is scarce, the pressure clear
A natural oceanic death
Awakened moments I have slept
To minimize the rise and fall
Of every breaking breath
I minimize the rise and fall
Of every breaking breath

Preparations going under
Eyes wide open to the wonder
Letting go of all my fears
Tribal tongue be in my ears
A water drifting perspiration
Blue boy pacifist
A water drifting perspiration
Blue boy pacifist

Heavy hand upon my throat
The strangler leaves no mark
Choked into the dark I see
Not a whisper there to drink
Not a whisper there to drink
But a wisp across my lips
I think
I think

Preparations going under
Eyes wide open to the wonder
Slipping 'neath the sweeping wave
Diving to the nether near
A water drifting perspiration
Blue boy pacifist
A water drifting perspiration
Blue boy pacifist
