String and Seaweed

you're not a distraction
you know I feel
the way that you're acting, it's a factor
cynical, a second wheel
you take the bait, it hooks you in
but you've got me caught in the line
tangled up in string and seaweed

far away on the horizon
something strange appears
something rich and foreign
far away, it could be years
and there's no fishing line or life design to hold me back
you get yours, you get yours, I get mine at last

I saw your reaction
you know I feel
the way that we're acting, it's disaster
cyanide and atropine
you take the bait, it hooks you in
but you've got me caught in the line
tangled up in string and seaweed

far away
underwater
something strange revealed
is this what you wanted
this is what you wanted
this is what you fear
go on and try to hold it back
