Shallow Seas

schools of people linger on the edge
 move as one entity in the shallow seas
 fashionistas shimmer through the reefs
 mannequins come to life from behind the glass
 don't believe your eyes
 variation caught in the debris you have filled bottles with a whispering
 soak your hands in lye
 un-perfect a disguise
 don't believe your eyes
 you can look however you want
 can sun til you're broze
 you can dress like a boy
 you can dance like a freak
 you can stay up for days
 you can sleep until three
 wear your shoes on the bed
 you can answer the phone
 in a curious voice
 burn all of your clothes
 forget who I am
 you can cheat you can lie
 steal all that I have
 you can be exactly
 who you had in mind
 I would be a fisherman
 I would find you in the open world
 it would be so ordinary
 shallow seas
