i wish we could be swallowed by the whales just a couple of fish inside the living ship we d sail i wish we could be swallowed by the night just a couple of stars a part of constellation light i m just looking for a perfect sentence to keep us alive swallowed by the night a constellation dipping into our head taking us in our sleep leaving behind just a dead pile of blankets and sheets i wish we could be swallowed by the sky just a couple of wings and wax that tried to fly too high i wish we could be swallowed by the moon just a couple of astronauts who won t be coming home soon i m just looking for a perfect sentence to keep us alive swallowed by the night a constellation dipping into our head taking us in our sleep leaving behind just a dead pile of blankets and blankets and sheets should we burn our old clothes should we burn our old souls
