Detritus Lyrics

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.
