Jonathan Coulton - I Crush Everything (Demo) lyrics

I lie below, you float above In the pretty white ships that I've been dreaming of And I'd like to swim beside you Getting dizzy in your wake Getting close enough to touch you Getting brave enough to take you into my arms And bring you down to be with me But I can't do that thing anymore I can't be anything I was before Maybe I am better off alone Because I crush everything And I crush everything And I crush everything My body's strong, but my will is weak I got pretty nice arms, but I hate my beak And the dolphins are all phonies They seem nice enough at first They pretend to be your friends Until they see you at your worst and then they leave you Without a word they swim away So I can't do that thing anymore I can't be anything I was before Maybe I am better off alone Because I crush everything And I crush everything And I crush everything And everything I want I take And everything I love I break And every night I lie awake Did the stars come out? Did the world spin round? Does it matter that much when you're ten miles down? And in the light that filters down Into my giant yellow eye I can see the sails unfolding Stretching white against the sky and I forgive them I forgive and I let go Cause I can't do that thing anymore I can't be anything I was before Maybe I am better off alone Because I crush everything And I crush everything And I crush everything And I crush everything And I crush everything And I crush everything I lie below, you float above In the pretty white ships that I am dreaming of
