lyrics

how can something as small as a pearl
get as big and heavy as the world
how can something as small as a pearl
get as big and heavy as the world

pearls are not meant to keep
it comes naturally to give ‘em back to the sea
glowing layers ‘round unbearable pain
that radiates, now i know
that growin’ layers’ in vain
if i can’t let my pearls go

keep going back to where i couldn’t see em shine
couldn’t make em mine
occupied my body, I wasn’t inside
tight chest when I couldn’t digest
what was floatin’ in
occupied my belly I was split within

cream and gold
soft and cold
these pearls are not meant to keep
pearls are not meant to
cream and gold
soft and cold
these pearls are not meant to keep
pearls are not meant to

how can something as small as a pearl
get as big and heavy as the world
how can something as small as a pearl
get as big and heavy as the world

hurt is not meant to keep
it comes naturally to let it out when i weep
salt water rivers runnin’ down my cheeks
pearl drops on my neck and on my feet

it keeps pullin’ me down
keeps pullin’ me down
how can something as small as a pearl
grow as big and heavy as the world

(cream and gold
soft and cold
these pearls are not meant to keep
pearls are not meant to)
cream and gold
soft and cold
these pearls are not meant to keep
pearls are not meant to
cream and gold
soft and cold
these pearls are not meant to keep
pearls are not meant to

the water’s cold
but i don’t care
cuz i like it there
i’m going deep into the dark
cuz you got me, you got me
my head feels numb
but i don’t care
cuz i like it there
