lyrics

The instruments are full
But sound's empty, push and pull.
You pull me in like the tide,
I'm the vengeance, you're my pride.

I've been a thousand places
Tried on a thousand faces
Trying to find the one that fits.
Each time the plastic's thicker
Each time the sand is quicker
Each time I say I'll call it quits.

This tidal wave called you
Is coming closer through and through
And it washes my mask away.
Just when you think it's done
You gasp 'cause there's another one
So you shake your head and say:

"I'm ashamed to know you.
I'm ashamed to know you."

A symphony of sound, it's
Unlikely you're astounded
More chance the riptide's reeling.
I've lost my sense of feeling

'Cause the seashell's music plays
An orchestra of endless days,
The seven seas have wiped me out.
The message comes too soon
A draw between us, crack of noon.
Why must your words come pouring out?

I've been a thousand places
Tried on a thousand faces
Trying to find the one that fits.
Each time the plastic's thicker
Each time the sand is quicker
Each time I say I'll call it quits.

The push and pull of sea
Sweeps my mask away from me.
This monsoon season lasts all year.
But then to your surprise
Another's covering my eyes.
You say the last thing I want to hear:

"I'm ashamed to know you.
I'm ashamed to know you.
I'm ashamed to know you.
I'm ashamed to know you."
