Frightened Rabbit - Swim Until You Can’t See Land

A
sa-
lute
at
the
thresh-
old
95
Of
the
North
Sea,
of
my
mind.
208
And
a
nod
to
the
bore-
dom
that
drove
me
here,
386
To
face
the
tide
474
And
swim.
I
swim.
Oh,
swim.
782
Dip
a
toe
in
the
o-
cean,
1096
Oh!
How
it
hard-
ens,
and
it
numbs.
1223
The
rest
of
me
is
a
ver-
sion
of
man,
1388
Built
to
col-
lapse
and
crumb.
1487
And
if
I
had-
n’t
come
now
1628
To
the
coast.
To
dis-
ap-
pear,
1721
I
may
have
died
in
the
land-
slide,
1883
Of
rocks
and
hopes
and
fear.

Up

I
wade

4222
Do
I
dive?
4294
The
sea
has
seen
my
like
be-
