Shudder away
Your skin burns my skin
In the icy spray of bass strait
It was the warmest day that you clung to me
Out in the waves
It escalates, a visceral state

Safe as solid stone
You'll sink beneath the foam
See what tidal flows
Can do to flesh and bone
You learn too slow
So I'll put you on the ocean floor

"swim toward the shore", I said
But I should have drowned you
Take my hand and beg for air
But I should have drowned you then and there
You learn too slow
So I'll put you on the ocean floor
