nobody (3:56)
emily swam out past the breakers
emily left her lies behind
over and round the broken wreckage
of the sunken shoreline
above her the moon was shining heavy
below her the bottom dropped away
behind her she heard the first explosion
in the court house by the bay
her uniform was on the ground
she left it purple, gray, and muddy
they would assume that she had drowned
after all she was nobody
wouldn’t they know what she had done?
wouldn’t they curse her phony name
didn’t she worry didn't care
they had themselves to blame
emily swam away from anger
emily swam away from pain
emily swam away from fire
when the explosions began to wane
her uniform was on the ground
she left it purple, gray, and muddy
they would assume that she had drowned
after all she was nobody
emily swam
