Thalassophobia from Mariesque EP by Doryphoros

Now I just need a break
To allow the motors to turn and crank out
Imprint the same sound of a mother
Shielding her child from debris
Oh god, I’m glad that wasn’t me

Swim out
Feel free to join
My coveted girl my world my life
Wade out, my wife

And wait out my return
A muse needs a compliment
As I’m sure you’ve learned

My highlight
Skylight
High tide

Assuming I was left alone
As I requested a creative break
How was I to know he struggled?
The vessel decided his fate
I assumed I was alone
Still, I will father his wake

I soon discover
Grasping at open sea
The swimming dead
The mortality
Realized in the eyes of a fine young prize of a man
I don’t help, although I know I can

Rising breath to the surface
Only hope no one else heard this
Man, now worthless
God, a soul is up for purchase
And I’ve cursed this coast
Now a bird perched, merciless

The flow, the flo
Inevitable drown
Where are we now?
Which side of the Earth is down?

Deadweight still not the heaviest burden I’ll carry
Emma cannot see this new side of the man she married
Must appear shocked
But I’m honestly distracted
By The Emptiness in the pit of my stomach

Hear me, jury, I swear
Arms weak in desperation
Queen Sea (Praise Be)
Angered, is she
Given us eternity of hell and damnation

Trap us here
Enrage your tide
Test the bond
Of groom and bride

She waits ashore
At corpse, agasp
I can’t help but think
A meal, at last
