The Sky Under the Sea

The Sky Under the Sea is the twelth song off of the second Pierce the Veil album, Selfish Machines.

Description
"The Sky Under the Sea" admits oneself is selfish when it comes with "love and taking what you want without regret." The " I am the selfish machine " lyric is a reference to the animal instinct that everyone has and won't admit to exists.

Lyrics
I still remember the night you tried to kiss me through the window.

I tried to settle for the taste of touching glass over the sound of answering machines, because I love the way your voice it says it's gonna get back to me someday. As I brace my knees you hold me down with your eyes.

Someday I'll drive, close both my eyes. We'll swim in circles in the blue lights, it's gonna be the best day of my life.

Oh my God You'll never be as beautiful without me. Beauty needs an animal to breathe, and baby you'll be alright as long as I'm not. So do that dance in the dark, sharpen your teeth and bite as hard as you want.

Someday I'll drive, close both my eyes. We'll swim in circles in the blue lights. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">And I just want to fade away into the sky under the sea. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">A million kissed underwater as we walk into the ocean. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">And this is gonna be the best day of my life, <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">a celebration of an ending.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">And do you really trust your tongue or did you bury the taste? <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">And is this fantasy real, or is it all home-made? <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">And did you call me last night just 'cause you couldn't get laid? <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce the selfish machine.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Do you think you're the only one? <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Do you think you're the only one? <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Do you think you're the only one afraid of this machine?

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Someday I'll drive, close both my eyes. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">I'll be your breath if you can be mine. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">And I just want to fade away into the sky under the sea. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">A million kisses underwater as we walk into the ocean waves. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Do you see me at all under the tall waves? <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Do you see me at all?
