some obvious TV on the Radio influence here - this song got played on CHMR 93.5 a lot in the mornings in 2009 - it was actually written back in 2001 and recorded on cassette tape as an acoustic demo only to resurface here on Suburban Teenage Riot eight years later with an a capella/synth/acoustic guitar treatment
lyrics
i'm not watching where i'm going
bumping into objects that i did not see
wait a minute maybe they are bumping into me
it's no matter, climbing ladders
up into the clouds to find my peace
the moon is pretty full and i don't have a place to sleep
oh my ocean I'm alone
yeah another disappointment shattered dreams
alone but i'm not lonely
what should i feel
hiding in the closet with my skeletons
they're a little lifeless but my only friends
buy an ocean
sell some motion
all my loving saved for nothing
threw it in the fire and then i watched you laugh
then you turned and asked m for my autograph
buy an ocean
sell some motion
