verse 1
Watermarks on the ceiling
Em
I can see Jesus and he's frowning at me
I see a dead seal on the beach
The old man says he's already saved it three times this week
Guess it just wants to die
I would wanna die too
With people putting oil into my air
But to be fair, I've done my share
Guess everybody's got their different point of view
verse 2
Em Em A
I was walking down Sunset Strip, Phillip Island, not Los Angeles
Got me some hot chips and a cold drink
Em A
Took a sandy seat on the shore
A
There's a paper on the ground, it makes my headache quite profound
A5
As I read it out loud
Em A
It said "The Great Barrier Reef it ain't so great anymore
It's been raped beyond belief, the dredgers treat it like a whore"
Em A
I drank 'til I was sinking, sank 'til I was thinking
Em A
That I'm thankful for this view
Em A
I drank 'til I was sinking, sank 'til I was thinking
Em A
That I'm thankful for this view
Em
We either think that we're invincible or that we are invisible

We all think that we're nobody but everybody is somebody else's somebody

I am just a reflection
