Into The Sea - Aidan Hawken

Your mother wades in the sea

She keeps her eyes fixed on me

Her hands are cold and the

Sun arcs low as it bleeds

Into the sea

Your sister's heart made of dust

Can't tell love from power and lust

Her head is high and the

Clouds are low and she weave

Into the sea

I'm done

It's fine I'm not their son

A brother a friend or anyone

And it kills me to think

Of your mother her daughter and their sins

Just be fine with everything

Our baby watches you bleed

Your father washes us clean

His hands are worn but his

Heart is strong and he breathes

Into the sea

I'm done

It's fine I'm not their son

A brother a friend or anyone

It kills me to think

Of your mother her daughter and their sins

Just be fine with everything

I guess I'll grab my coat

The walls are thin and cold

With the fear of growing old

Can't drink the water in this house

Tastes like iron in your mouth

Whether flood or whether drought

Look in my eyes

Am I blue blooded enough

To eat with them to share with them a cup

The ruling class of gossiping and salt

I'm done

It's fine I'm not their son

A brother a friend or anyone

Oh and it kills me to see

Your mother her daughter and their sins

Just be fine with everything
