    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHi5RfxaCCo"]YouTube - The golden boy that was swallowed by the sea- the sound of animals fighting

    An endless crowds of people, they walk upon this stone
    Where will their memory go, where did their minds come from?
    And I was only a child when I first looked into your eyes
    And saw your body rise up over the ocean

    We saw the golden boy bleed love onto the sand like rain
    While we were injecting colors into our open veins
    And deep beneath the water, the dead black silence crawled far away across the ocean

    The golden boy is swallowed by the sea
    And love is sometimes violent, and violence has no constraint
    And I can see inside you, Yes, I can feel what you think
    And with this knife of silver I will release your soul

    And throw it out into the ocean, nine million miles in a straight line
    In a place just like this, in a ship on the water, where no dimensions exist
    My hands are hitting your picture, and the image, it shifts
    I tear it up and scatter it over the ocean, the golden boy that was swallowed by the sea.

    they all seem genuinly relatable,and easy to follow,not complicated or questionable,which makes me like them. i especially liked initation and human nature. some of them seemed a bit plain. but still enjoyable thanks!
