My Buoy from Reflections EP by Dolly Mavies
This song is based around the metaphor for love being the sea, for a buoy which is meant to guide you to safety, to be there for you, to be a beacon in the roughest of seas, is actually something that is dragging you down, and smothering you.

Lyrics
I want to swim in the sound of you
I want to dive into the deep
I’m used to feeling blue
So don’t you worry about me
Smother my lungs with the air of you
Breathe you in till I'm free
I could drown in the depths of your ocean
‘cause I think you saved a little room for me
You’re my buoy
But I am asphyxiated
You're my buoy
But you’re lost at sea
You're my buoy
And I know how long you waited
You're my buoy
The only, buoy for me
I’ll spill my guts onto the bed of the sea
Let the ocean crawl inside of me
Let the creatures take what they need
Build a home and feed upon the ruin of me
I want to drink in the smell of you
Drift away unconsciously
I could sink submerge myself with your emotion
I don’t want to just want to dip my feet
You’re my buoy
But I am asphyxiated
You're my buoy
But you’re lost at sea
You're my buoy
And I know how long you waited
You're my buoy
The only buoy for me
You’re my buoy
But I am asphyxiated
You're my buoy
But you’re lost at sea
You're my buoy
And I know how long you waited
You're my buoy
The only buoy for me
