Horse The Band - Manateen Lyrics

I feel like I'm becoming a butterfly
Or a golden bee
My smiles like razor blades
When I smile it cuts pretty deep

My body is in the magazines
My face on the TV, my voice on the radio
That's me in my dreams, when I open my eyes
I see I'm a piece of shit

A worthless coward
A vapid whore
A moral-less refugee
Covered in sores

A blithering sea cow, lost in its dreams
Nobody likes me, yeah
Nobody likes me at all
Nobody likes me, yeah

Wet blue world, it fills me up
I find I'm deep inside
Waves crash and I breathe water
But I haven't died

Won't come up
Won't come up for air
Won't come up
Won't come up for air

And beneath the waves
Hide my head in darker waters
And nobody sees, I cut myself

Hope to draw you in
But even the sharks pass by
Someone, please explain

All alone, I'm growing colder
Laughter like cancer, over my shoulder
Mirrors like hatchets to the wound of my face
You know I'm a complete, I'm a complete disgrace

I'm not a Manateen
I'm not a Manateen
Just leave me alone
Just leave me alone

And beneath the sea
I give up and I descend
And I'm finally free

And in the end
Wet blue world fills me up
Fills me deep inside
Waves crash and I breathe water
But I haven't died

Never
With the furious poison in my heart
Will I return from the darker waters
I let the tide tear me apart

Never
With the furious poison in my veins
Will I return from the darker waters
Won't hold my breath and wait for change

I die
It's a suicide
My body swallowed by the deep blue Abyss
Into the endless tide

Won't come up, won't come up
I won't come up for air tonight
Won't come up, won't come up
I won't come up for air tonight

Cold
And all alone
I held my own
Now I give up
