[Verse 1]

I drag my feet on the wet sand

I learn to speak like a real man

As the sea birds circle and cry

The ship docks at a port in my mind

And then there is nothing

And then there is nothing

And then there is nothing

And then there is nothing

[Chorus]

Don't cry

Don't feel

I can't die because I don't think that death's real

It's good

It's yours

Everything you love will bleed and run its course

[Verse 2]

I've never learned to dance or feel psychic pain

I've blistered in the sun in my own self-esteem

As the waves washed over my feet

I could hear the gulf

And then there is nothing

There's nothing at all

[Chorus]

Don't cry

Don't feel

I can't die because I don't think that death's real

It's good

It's yours

Everything you love will bleed and run its course

[Bridge]

I'm a hopeful soldier and a mother to none

Where it's written in the sand, sea shells shaped like guns

Where is the answer, so simple and clear

As I watch the lights go out, my world disappears

[Chorus]

Don't cry

Don't feel

I can't die because I don't think that death's real

It's good

It's yours

Everything you love will bleed and run its course

Don't cry

Don't feel

I can't sleep because I don't think this dream's real

It's good

It's yours

Everyone you love will bleed and will wash ashore

Don't cry

Don't feel

I won't die because I don't think that death's real

It's good

It's yours

Everyone you love will bleed and run its course
