Manateen Lyrics - Horse The Band

I feel like I'm becoming 

A butterfly 

Or a golden bee 

My smile is like razorblades 

When I share 

It cuts bloody deep 

My body is in the magazines 

My face on the tv 

My voice on the radio 

That's me in my dreams 

But when I open my eyes 

I'm just a piece of shit! 

A worthless coward 

A vapid whore 

A moral-less refugee 

Covered in sores 

A blithering sea cow 

Lost in it's dreams 

Nobody likes me, yeah 

Nobody likes me at all 

Nobody likes me, yeah 

wet blue world - it fills me up 

I find I'm deep inside 

Waves crash and I breathe water 

But I haven't died 

I won't come up 

I won't come up for air 

I won't come up 

I won't come up for air 

... and beneath the waves 

I hide my head in darker waters 

And nobody sees 

... I cut myself 

And hope to draw you in 

But even sharks pass by 

Please explain 

All alone I'm growing colder 

Laughter like cancer over my shoulder 

Mirrors like hatchets to the world of my face 

You know I'm a complete...i'm a complete disgrace 

I'm not a manatee 

I'm not a manatee 

Just leave me alone 

Just leave me alone 

... And beneath the sea 

I give up and I descend 

And I'm finally free 

... And in the end 

Wet blue world - fills me up 

Fills me deep inside 

Waves crash and I breathe water 

But I haven't died 

Never 

With furious poison in my heart 

Will I return from the darker waters 

I let the tide tear me apart 

Never 

With furious poison in my heart 

Will I return from the darker waters 

I won't hold my breath and wait for change 

I die 

It's a suicide 

My body swallowed by the deep blue abyss 

And into the endless tide 

I won't come up 

I won't come up 

I won't come up for air tonight 

I won't come up 

I won't come up 

I won't come up for air tonight 

Cold 

And all alone 

I held my own 

But now I give up
