lyrics

it's been a while
since the whisper went away
no planned exchangin'
just a slipped in sort of trade

and the things i loved
they fell into the sea
and i watched them sink
and dissolve in front of me

it's not me, it's not me
i kept my coins inside a wishing well
and they went and drifted to the sea
it's not me, it's not me
i went to go and find the treasure chest
but i couldn't lift it from the sea

it's been some time now
i stopped tryin' for the trade
what went missing
well i let it go away

i had kicked down to
my deepest sea
then i swam for air
and shore ahead of me

it's not me, it's not me
i kept my coins inside a wishing well
and they went and drifted to the sea
it's not me, it's not me
i went to go and find the treasure chest
but i couldn't lift it from the sea

the stringed things that bind and tie
a little blanket for denial
a little basket for the orphan child
that swings and glides

here's a poem here's the facts
ride a current high and after that
spread your body on the ground
and let your weight just shift around

you've got your pillows for your rest
carved your marking on your family crest
make a wish and cast the line

it's not me, it's not me, it's not me,
that drifts into the sea

it's not me, it's not me, it's not me,
that drifts in to the sea... the sea.
