Manatees

from Like A Volcano by Spesh Pep

/

lyrics

I took shelter deep in your mouth,
Played in the places, lingered about while unknown
Follow your bones or follow your brains, swallow the flow as it runs down the drain, we drank it
Naked like Manatees wash in the tide
Mating and migration patterns align, we sway
Merging together, hopeful, entwined, our sex and the beach and the shriek mark our letters and lives
Dove through your endocrine, molten love odyssey, floated like time machine fossilized memory while some hardened gardener entranced by your botany opens these puffy eyes to you staring back at me
With homeward we go mammals at play
Measured in distances so out of reach
We were dizzy in the streets and on our feet, they had us surrounded
And what kind of people do we want to be?
All we could've learned, we could’ve seen, we were stubborn instead
To run from your enemies, added complexity
Treacherous passages of unknown topography
While some ardent arsonist who wants to get fiery
Hands burning up by the heat of your effigy
Home, where'd we go? holding these frail frames

Don’t leave the past behind, don’t leave the past behind
Electro-shock ambulance carries me back to life
What’s with the attitude? what’s with that sparky dude?
Some squeaking mockingbird cranked out the latitude
~
Hey you, fire me up a new one (it’s the end of the world)
Hey you, carve me out a new world
Hey you fire me up, a new one
If you light me up, I will
Will you swim on out to me? (it’s the end of the world)
Hey you, fire me up
~
