meet me by the sea [#wattys2019]

jellyfish - freestyle (informal)

Like glowing paper lanterns beneath the waves,

those pests just float about and stay.

-

Waiting for their next prey in the system,

getting annoyed when you're just with them.

-

Always tryna sting when you least expect it,

tolerance is hard when you gotta perfect it.

-

When you're around they just sting,

what is the purpose of this thing?

-

Those tentacles give you more than a scar,

getting so gassed they just laugh.

-

Always talking about who isn't peng,

who's social career's gotta end.

-

Homework every damn lesson,

burnout till' you feel the tension.

-

Can't get a word outta me so they stare,

talking about this and that. I don't care.

-

I don't care. I just wanna get by.

Every "I'm fine" is a lie.

-

I just wanna get through this day,

without getting stung walking through the waves.
