All I Need


Around me lies nothing but sea
Land is what my toes sink beneath
Lips salted shut, since I havent brushed my teeth

I need someone who needs just me

Nothing has color
Everything seems blue
Everyday I'm waiting
Doubtless doubting too

Islands bathed in sun
Sure wish I had a gun

Lonely 'cept for lights
Overhead shining bright
Very hard to find
Eternity cloaked in night.
