there’s a million pearls in a giant clam
shut tight forever
and the roses keep on blooming
and the clouds keep on moving
but my shell is stuck buried at the bottom
pretending I am someone else
pretending I am somewhere else
but if I open up
my pearls will float away
and if I stay seeled tight
will forever alone I stay?
who will set me free?
how much longer shall I stay confined
until one day
I simply could not hold them all inside
and every pearl I ever cherished
was suddenly gone
holding my grip tight for so long
they were the only beauty
that i had ever known
up to the surface i float
across the sea to the shore
i spent a week on the sand
Now I kept my eyes peeled on land
I’ll never miss a thing again.
