Eric Wallgren - Ocean Floor Lyrics

The blue stain on my shirt shines brightly just for you
It takes hard work for me to swallow what I chew
Pick up nails from the hardware store
And pound my feet into the floor
Draw a line and step back til you're out of state

I climb and slide back into the valley of tears
The bison I kill there will be my food for years
Spun around stuck in my lane
With a big grey cloud that won't be tamed
I'm underneath a deck rigged by the king

I'm thrashing bones at a cinderblock
That I ripped from a snake under my spirit rock
Buying gold from a cavalier
Who spits his jelly in my ear
I let my gun fall to the grass
When I drove through the hungover glass
Now I shiver on the ocean floor
I don't think I can take any more

I ache like a jellyfish curled up inside this box
Chewing through all my dimes trying to cure my chicken pox
Taking breaths under a lake
I take whatever I can take
The canyon widens slowly every day

I'm thrashing bones at a cinderblock
That I ripped from a snake under my spirit rock
Buying gold from a cavalier
Who spits his jelly in my ear
I let my gun fall to the grass
When I drove through the hungover glass
Now I shiver on the ocean floor
I don't think I can take any more
