You're smiling

You´re smiling but I sense fear when you say, abandon ship and there´s land near
And the water is deep around my knees, but still I don´t believe.
At another time I would have followed you anywhere, but not now
You said I was a shackle to you, well you always say the most violent things, my dear.
You´re smiling as you climb into another idea of what it means to be you
And I´m supposed to follow and I´m not supposed to mind that you keep leaving me behind.
You said that I was a shackle to you well you always say the vilest things, my dear.
And the water is deep around my knees, but still I don´t believe.
At another time I would have followed you anywhere, but not now
You said I was a shackle to you, well you always say the most violent things, my dear.
You´re smiling as you climb into another idea of what it means to be you
And I´m supposed to follow and I´m not supposed to mind that you keep leaving me behind.
You said that I was a shackle to you well you always say the vilest things, my dear.
