I can hear it calling While you're sitting in your room Under the limestone Calls to you You can hear the pounding Of the blood between your ears Under the limestone You'd have no fears Can you hear it calling? Somewhere in your aquifer No matter where you go It follows you Can you feel it pulling? Like it's tethered to your soul No matter who you love You'll always know I can hear it searching While I'm sitting in my car Under the limestone It's never far I can tell it's searching While I hide away Under the limestone It always preys Can you hear it calling? Somewhere in your aquifer No matter where you go It follows you Can you feel it pulling? Like it's tethered to your soul No matter who you love You'll always know

From the shores of St. Augustine To the swamp so evergreen You would take me by the hand Made sure that I would Never understand Anything to do with love Don't you know that Southern Ennui Is like a drug It will open up new doors Either that or leave you Underneath the boards All the bats and birds and bees All the fish and crabs And even the trees Fall victim to Southern Ennui Don't try to fight it You'll just have to wait and see Is this really where you want to be? Somewhere far away Where no eyes can see Safe from your Southern Ennui You know that I would have done Anything

Don't be surprised when she flies in That's not blood that's dripping From her chin My baby likes earthly delights My baby wants something nice She's my fruit bat baby YA She's my fruit bat baby Want something sticky and sweet She's my fruit bat baby YA She's my fruit bat baby Want something sticky and sweet If she's not here she's on the prowl If it's not sweet she wears a scowl My baby likes nectarines My baby can be such a fiend She's my fruit bat baby YA She's my fruit bat baby Want something sticky and sweet She's my fruit bat baby YA She's my fruit bat baby Want something sticky and sweet

Tracking all my footsteps They've got me on the scent You know that I would love to stay You taste so heaven sent But I must now be leaving I'll be heading home The only Florida Cryptid You wish you never left alone Snips snails and gator tails Baby I'm the missing link The only time I like to leave my hole Is to find a mate or something to drink Now when they see me out The only sound I hear is a hush Take a picture cause they'll never believe That you made the Florida Cryptid blush

Croonwave 05:48
I don't want to be another crooner I just want to do my own thing Sunsets on the west coast never bothered To listen to any other thing I'd go boogie boarding if you invite me And if your water wasn't cold I guess it wasn't meant to be I guess it wasn't meant to be Someone let the rat pack Out the cathedral through the back I can't understand you Does it matter? Is it true? Sing to me in my ears Tell me crooner all your fears I can't laugh I can't cry Until I know the meaning why Do you want me to be another crooner? Do you not want to know what I sing? Should I drown it all in the bay now All the kelp and lions round me I'd go to In-n-out only if you invite me Would you do it animal style with me? Someone let the rat pack Out the cathedral through the back I can't understand you Does it matter? Is it true? Sing to me in my ears Tell me crooner all your fears I can't laugh I can't cry Until I know the meaning why

You could cut me with that glare Why would you think that I care? You expect me to be meek? No You've gotta be a freak Be a freak You've gotta be a freak Be a freak You've gotta be a freak Why would you treat me so cold? That's just how the story goes You just let your ego leak Ya You've gotta be a freak You've gotta be a freak Be a freak You've gotta be a freak Be a freak You've gotta be a freak
7.
Did you not see the writing on the walls? Did you not feel it when the winds called? I can feel it now in the air The way you used to look and stare I can't just be anybody I must be inside your heart Need me love me never leave me You know my love never stops I can't just be anybody I must be inside your soul Need me want me Always seek me You know love is in control

This shrine inside of my home Prying eyes never leave alone Can't they see I'm in constant bliss They will never get to this I will keep you here with me Illegal shrines inside my home Everything so pretty when you're near me Know that I will never be alone Longing only for your scent You know you were heavent sent No regrets and no more lies Only guaranteed that we will both die I will keep you here with me Illegal shrines inside my home Everything so pretty when you're near me Know that I will never be alone

Hehe Dx 03:50
Called me up Gone a little sooner Never wanted Ties to any future Play for keeps Nothing ever granted Vultures watching Wishing it was rancid Pinch me now Is this just a dream? All I've ever wanted Fell apart it seems Never track the distance Never track the dose Now I'll be a goner Now I'll be a ghost Always looking for someone to rely on All while knowing there's no hill you would die on Do you feel relief in all those shoulders to cry on? The effort that we spent for it to be gone Pinch me now Is this just a dream? All I've ever wanted Fell apart it seems Never track the distance Never track the dose Now I'll be a goner Now I'll be a ghost

about

Mostly inspired by my home state of Florida in all its beauty, terror, sorrow and the experiences I've had aging with it.
