pandora's aquarium
she dives for shells
with her nautical nuns
and thoughts you thought
you'd never tell

i am not asking you to believe in me
boy i think you're confused
i'm not Persephone
foam can be dangerous
with tape across my mouth
these things you do
i never asked you how

line me up in single file
with all your grievances
stare but i can taste
you're still alive
below the waste
ripples come and ripples go
and ripple back to me

i am not asking you to believe in me
boy i think you're confused
i'm not Persephone
she's in New York somewhere
checking her accounts
the lord of the flies was diagnosed as sound
