    "Frightened Rabbit - Swim Until You Cant See Land" :(

    I salute at the threshold of the North Sea of my mind
    And I nod to the boredom that drove me here to face the tide
    And I swim, I swim, oh swim
    Dip a toe in the ocean, oh how it hardens and it numbs
    The rest of me is a version of man built to collapse in crumbs
    And if I hadn't come now to the coast to disappear
    I may have died in a landslide of rocks and hopes and fears

    Swim until you can't see land
    Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand?

    Up to my knees now
    Do I wade? Do I dive?
    The sea has seen my like before, though it's my first and perhaps last time
    Let's call me a baptist, call this a drowning of the past
    She is there on the shoreline throwing stones at my back

    Swim until you can't see land
    Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand?

    And the water is taller than me
    And the land is a marker line
    All I have is a body adrift in water, salt and sky

    Swim until you can't see land
    Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand?
