lyrics

Met a child who lived in a cove
She had more shelves than she had clothes
Every morning she'd wander the stretch of the shore
Picking up pieces of litter and taking it home

Maybe they'll come back one day, she'd say
Finally tire from the waves
But these bottles grow dustier everyday

There was once I walked with her one dawn
Counting the footprints that led to the ocean
She piled up my arms with once-loved broken things
To fill up the shelves that she tries to keep clean

Maybe they'll come back someday, she'd say
Finally rise from the waves
But these bottles grow...
They just keep growing.
They just keep growing.
They just keep getting dustier and dustier and dustier...

I've stood here before, at the edge of the world
Ready to surrender myself to the water
But then, a fragile hand slipped into mine, looked inside
And in her eyes, saw despair of a thousand lives

These belong to just their dreamers
Their light grows weak, they wait
For the day that they come take them home
Don't be impatient, dreamer
The sea might make you fly
but these'll take you to stars and beyond

about

TheRingmaster (Francissistic) Philippines

"Francis keeps things mellowed down and a little feminine, basking in heart-stabbing, downtempo pop that goes to as far as conquering all hell and mud in pursuit of love. This time, he’s restless not with himself, but with his art, his woman, and the need to express himself. " - Vandals On The Wall ... more
