Shallow Dive by The Pica Beats Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Son you'll have to grow thicker skin 'fore you turn amphibian
Then you'll have to grow some gills
If you want to breathe oxygen, you're gonna have to live on land
And maybe I'm surprised you don't
And they count with nervous eyes, and maybe you can't decide
How to lose your eighth and last
Born in different gears with symbiotic tears
Maybe that's the kind you chose
[Chorus]
Well I'm used to seeing the sun not rise
It gave me pause before Shallow Dive
And now I surface on the rain-soaked rocks
I'm a genius when the blood won't stop
And now because of crushing guilt
And now because I'm lying still
You don't believe in social resurgence
Or giving in to giving in
[Verse 2]
Well this girl I knew from fire, she got in some piano wire
Hung herself from a right tree branch
The stick had bent right down but her feet never touched the ground
Until her legs were laid to rest
A orphan suicide, and maybe you can tell me why
Living is the accident
And no single event is impossible to prevent
When the odds are not your kin
[Verse 3]
And [?] had her off and asked her for her thoughts
Comparing us to lichen growths
It's taken twenty years, we're covered ear to ear
Beginning on the head to toe
And Philodendron Bloom, your picture's in my room
Balanced on an old pine shelf
And someday I will need every flower seed
To complete my collective growth
[Chorus]
Well I'm used to seeing the sun not rise
It gave me pause before Shallow Dive
And now I surface on the rain-soaked rocks
I'm a genius when the blood won't stop
And now because of crushing guilt
And now because I'm lying still
You don't believe in social resurgence
Or giving in to giving in
Son you'll have to grow thicker skin 'fore you turn amphibian
Then you'll have to grow some gills
If you want to breathe oxygen, you're gonna have to live on land
And maybe I'm surprised you don't
And they count with nervous eyes, and maybe you can't decide
How to lose your eighth and last
Born in different gears with symbiotic tears
Maybe that's the kind you chose
[Chorus]
Well I'm used to seeing the sun not rise
It gave me pause before Shallow Dive
And now I surface on the rain-soaked rocks
I'm a genius when the blood won't stop
And now because of crushing guilt
And now because I'm lying still
You don't believe in social resurgence
Or giving in to giving in
[Verse 2]
Well this girl I knew from fire, she got in some piano wire
Hung herself from a right tree branch
The stick had bent right down but her feet never touched the ground
Until her legs were laid to rest

And no single event is impossible to prevent
