Nina & The Shark

from What Safe Means by Kaji

lyrics

Long tales, tied up into weaves before you’d speak.
Your tongue crawled to meet the shore as he began to weep.
“I tried, I tried."
"I tried to keep such awful things at bay from you."
"Away from you.”

“To keep myself from cutting you loose.”
But nothing could be further from the truth.
He’s not sorry that you were so scared.
He was not there to calm your fear.

There’s nothing to reap, nothing left for you here.
No words, not a single tear.
His ghost will haunt you.
And your body won’t let you choose.

It will grow to resent you, it will grow to despise you.

And as summer began, your voice grew still.
After all this time you should have known.
Why would he expect any less from you.
Any less from you.

Mother came to, and the temper finally showed signs of slowing down.
To seek truth where it did not fit.
Your scars were lines she could not read.

And her heavy eyes can’t remember, was your heart ever aware.
Of the story she kept alive, it was wearing out, lies running out.
and tonight she’ll realize, you’ve given up, you’re bleeding out.

Oh heavy eyes.
Oh heavy eyes.
