Sharks are a group of fishes characterized by a cartilaginous skeleton, five to seven gill slits on the sides of the head, and pectoral fins that are not fused to the head. Modern sharks are classified within the clade Selachimorpha (or Selachii), and are the sister group to the rays. However, the term "shark" has also been used for extinct members of the suborder Elasmobranchii outside the Selachimorpha, such as Cladoselache and Xenacanthus. Under this broader definition, the earliest known sharks date from more than 420 million years ago.
Since that time, sharks have diversified into over 400 species. They range in size from the small dwarf lanternshark (Etmopterus perryi), a deep sea species of only 17 centimetres (6.7 in) in length, to the whale shark (Rhincodon typus), the largest fish in the world, which reaches approximately 12 metres (39 ft). Despite its size, the whale shark feeds only on plankton, squid, and small fish by filter feeding. Sharks are found in all seas and are common down to depths of 2,000 metres (6,600 ft). They generally do not live in freshwater although there are a few known exceptions, such as the bull shark and the river shark that can survive in both seawater and freshwater. They breathe through five to seven gill slits. Sharks have a covering of dermal denticles that protects their skin from damage and parasites in addition to improving their fluid dynamics. They also have several sets of replaceable teeth.
I went to the marina saw a man in a speedo scratching himself and staring at sharks his shirt was unbuttoned long grey chest hairs and the sharks just kept swimming more bored than annoyed and the man on the tape says that they'd suffocate if the sharks would stop swimming in circles even though there's no place for them to go in this aquarium they just keep swimming in circles they're such noble creatures the marina's main feature and they glide through captivity with oceans more dignity than we'll ever know judging by that speedo and the man on the tape says that they'd suffocate if the sharks would stop swimming in circles even though there's no place for them to go in this aquarium they just keep swimming in circles
Burning the bridge at both ends.
I'm drinking out of a glass half full of sweet harness.
Turning the cheek with sick teeth.
Sucking me dry with apathy and sorry, but I can't hear them.
White light mouth pouring with a white heat.
Resembling a white moon silver surfacing a black sea, sailing only me.
Burning up time with nine lives.
I feel obliged to bide and rot and rule.
Keeping the sun down, keeping it cool.
Easy chemistry, only me.
Easy chemistry, lonely me.
Easy chemistry, positively correcting me
When all I need is in concrete, crookedly.
Eyes climb up and down you,
With the white heat sinking in two.
White eyes when I'm sleeping.
sharks
bite
kill
sharks
(scream)
sharks - pressured to be,
cool and released
a horrible thing
sharks - surrounding me,
feeling unclean
and so dirty
staying out the way
terror at the bay
sleep with the fish and still
i can hear you scream
if i was a shark:
wouldn't be thinking twice
but all i can see around me all the time
and when i feel them bite down on my face
you can hear me scream
see them swimming killing spilling me
it's easier
so i'll look into the sky
and hope i get another try
terror at the bay
staying out they way
sleep with the fish and now
i can't hear you scream
swimming killing thrilling and i wish
that i could be like them
underwater i pretend...
Woah - yeah.
Don't fuck with those sharks
sharks can kill anything
sharks will take everything
Messed around with the sharks
They've got you by the balls
Should I nod or should I fall?
Got you by the balls
Dark deeds done with my silent consent
and I hazard the consequence
If the grey men decide to change the plans,
who'll be on the bright side in the end?
I hate the minds of the hands I shake
They make me an accessory, I am blackmailed
They fear the rage, they are armed to the teeth
treated like benefactors and act like thieves
Sure I depend on evil forces
but it pays to bet on the winning horses
Dark deeds done with my silent consent
You took advice from a stranger in a stereo.
You follow your heart, you break a heart,
But please don't feel you have to.
Time is ours to kill once we find the joys of living
The lives we were born to live in.
A division of the heart and mind.
Left dry of explanation, drifting between distance and a lie.
And all of a sudden you begin to realise
that there are often several different angles to certain things in life.
The temptations of another way will be forced upon themselves, they hear out.
The disfigure of a past age will not be tamed, I hear out.
And I chose to deal with it through a self-centred perspective.
It's the easiest way but believe me, it's for the best.
Sometimes I feel I'm not trying hard enough; sometimes I try too hard.
And all of a sudden I begin to realise
That all along there was someone in there,
There is a light that burns near here
It's laced with hate and fueled with fear
At night it hangs over this town
Millions will choose to ignore the sound
Now the path we choose to take
Is nothing but the breath I waste
Nothing for us to do but keep on digging this hole for ourselves
Until our very souls will burn in hell
There's a sun that burns far from here
It's taken for granted, yet fuels us with fear
All night it betrays this town
Someone somewhere will let this take them down
And there they will hear the sound
Now the path we choose to take
Is nothing but the breath I waste
Nothing for us to do but keep on digging this hole for ourselves
Until our very souls will burn
Three houses set in stone
I am bored to the fucking bone
of everything I once counted on,
something I hold close
Maybe kids reap death from hybrids
of former evenly spread eyelids,
asking cautiously at their predictions
Travels underground make time for other things,
including dust settling shackles to be broken free
Travels over time show my head other things.
Forgetting dust settling shackles;
to be broken free, I'd give my days
And something out of all this mess
clears my congested chest
of any remedial purpose or perception
And maybe ears go deaf from silence,
maybe eyes go blind from staring at the sky too long
(Not as long as it takes to show)
Fifty days, all of the water’s gone.
No respite from under the cold white sun.
Indifference, parched gums and swollen limbs.
Nothing moves but the fins of the sharks that swim.
So endlessly – dark shadows that roam the deep
stalk our wake and haunt our sleep
so ghastly white.
So quiet, accepting – their gentlemen’s breeding shows well.
They circle their servants like sharks.
As one man, united, they drew lots and decided.
It’s my turn to give my life
for kingdom, for country, for their polite society.
We ventured to find the hollow earth
but all that we found were the hollows
on our souls
screaming for subsistence, gnawing, devouring.
to give my life to give them their lives?
Such preposterous hypocrisy I cannot abide
oh no I will not go quietly.
Fool them before they can see you’re no nominee.
Make them think it’s a jinx and make them agree.
Make them fear, make them dread and
get them to wait just an hour, a minute, a second.
Blind them before they can see, before they can flee.
Tie their hands tie their feet, their power’s a deceit.
Teach them class, blood and breed’s no
acquittal or grounds
Time has struck us down, kept us from interest once more
For the intentions we made, now intentions once pure
Pry your mind from the fall and rise to see again
But still, take your ears, they're only yours to fear
Do with them what you will
I insinuated a purpose I could have kept to myself
How pathetic this must sound
to a hope of finally getting out
How pathetic this must sound
to someone who doesn't even know he's bored of this town
Try to make sense of what happens next
and in the meantime I could have stolen a fucking car
Eyes wide on the heavy plight of the city alight.
Beam down on the knife that burns bright
Lost all the fire to the church's ill arcade.
Don't believe me when I say I'm not afraid
Another night arrives, slice open your eyes.
I used to waste my time dreaming in-between lies
How pathetic this must sound
to a hope of finally getting out
How pathetic this must sound
to someone who doesn't even know he's bored of this town
Try to make sense of what happens next,
I'll wait bored on settled ground
Try to make sense of what happens next
Short term, silly have you got someone
You got the power to love
If you are willing you're the only one
Don't just user that power for fun
-Bridge-
Whoever suggested that stimulation
Once was enough, once was enough 'coz
-Chorus-
Now we are out of the sea
And we're keeping away from the sharks
Now it's just you, it's just me
And we'll never be together apart
Keepin' away from the sharks
Deeper palates in what context oh
Whatever you wanna show
A purpose year, but if they only know
The spearkles they never show
-Repeat Bridge & Chorus-
Keeping' away from the, keepin' away from the
Keepin' away from the sharks
-Repeart Chorus-
Keepin' away from the, Keepin' away form the
There's sharks below the surface,
Waiting to come and drag me down.
With copious amounts of pills,
And amphetamines to combat ourselves.
What used to be the simplest days,
Became so complicated with cocktails of colourful meds.
Now I'm just another stray dog on the boulevard,
With the last of the hometown stars.
Don't tell me in your little tone,
I hate to say I told you so.
Could you just let it go?
Help me find a way out of this mess.
I'm sick of all the choices that I made,
When there was simply nothing left.
Help me put a distance to my past.
Scars I have.
Sharks below the surface.
Talk is getting serious,
About the future and all my big plans.
But like love lost in Los Angeles,
It comes and goes with the latest of trends.
What used to be a lucrative business has just gone to shit,
With the collapse of the meaning itself.
Now I'm just another stray dog on the boulevard,
With the last of the boomtown whores.
Don't tell me in your little tone,
I hate to say I told you so.
Could you just let it go?
Help me find a way out of this mess.
I'm sick of all the choices that I made,
When there was simply nothing left.
Help me put a distance to my past.
The scars I have,
I cannot forget.
Sharks below the surface.
More, more.
Oh, can you help me get,
More, more?
Oh, just a little bit,
More, more?
Oh, will you help me get,
Just a little bit more?
Help me find a way out of this mess.
I'm sick of all the choices that I made,
When there was simply nothing left.
Help me put a distance to my past,
Scars I have,
I cannot forget.
Sharks below the surface.
Sharks below the surface.
Sharks live on the elevator, baby
If you want a ride
I don't even wanna
Coz sharks live on the elevator baby
If you want a ride
I don't even wanna
Baby, it's a long time comin'
Baby, it's a long time runnin'
Sharks live on the other side of town

Baby, it's a long time comin'
Baby, it's a long time runnin'
Baby, it's a long time comin'
Baby, it's a long time runnin'
Away
Old school, new school
Need to know this
Getcha game up you better keep focus
And so i said that they were biters
Chalking up lines from all these resolutes
Chip off the writers block with 9's that chop against
the destitute
Evolution of the manor, trade royalites with verses
Go with platinum, can't go with burberry...it hurts
since
A verse gets termed as the worst, but when immersed in
your playlist
That shit plays first re...hearse all bars
Matter harsh scars and battle
I bring tallstalls with chatter yet they all just
shatter and split
Battered by the scaron gifts, stolen from affiliates,
sharon patter and redshit
Shoulda stitched it by hand and mouth, now you shook
planning doubts
Spitting west while standing south, all n all, sucess
for you is not at all probable
When i take you to the lake to find out if your water-
soluble
I'm sick of bitches typing like their spliting inches
off a ruler
To be judged by, file pressing consider my style,
metric.
That means stop biting my shit!
That means start writing your shit!
No rest for the weary, or the wicked stand witness
To know rest for the weapon, i'm a skeet with
tradition, now listen!
This isn't just another sick written from the darkstar
harm how the sharks that get bitten
This is hardtaught! don't expect a rescue and don't let
me catch you alone in the carpark
Cause shark skin is fashion and that is me
Touch your anatomy like down to your car hearts
Use to write for a site but i didn't spark smarter
Ritebright! you could think it, my first pink slip
But this isn't a house by writing bumper stickers
It's somethin you stick it and bump, like a heroin
needle
See the shit in the trunk is apparently lethal
Which y'all live to distrupt like american leaders
I'm gonna pull quick from the category
I run bullshit like a matador, see?
That means stop biting my shit!
That means start writing your shit!
I'm the rapier, but you fear that the spear that
sparred our father harbours pokes
Rich rappers might catch a darva conger in...hoax!
That the bitch they get with doesn't switch, approach!
To the sickness, leave you witless buying her ropes n
Rings n things of that nature, shit all you hear is
"rings this",
"pitchpacks", "pagers"
To get that paper, she'll find a mattels a cell
Style for fidel'cs as hell, looks like a dictator
Type a chick that a getcha car stolen
Hardtoil! she might get up in that ass like shark
oilden
Again i can see what you thought was a fargo
But you can't trust those with hearts like charcoal
I didn't prepare to punk, from when i put em in the
boat
It was a lebaron trunk
I connect for the very best sound and set
Now i'm rockin a tooth right around my neck
That means stop biting my shit!
Standing on a balcony
At one with the concrete beneath me
I know nothing of the night
Blistering under a cruel light
Shone down through cracks in the skyline
As I speak circles to you
Look at all the moral sin
Aren't you sick of taking everything by numbers
Taking everything with force
Look at the way they pushed us in
Tell me you're not sick of your own skin by now
And well, I'm lost for words
Dragging knives from borrowed backs
To see what really holds us back
From truth, trust and respect
Oh underground, keep me from seeing
The sights that set my eyes bleeding
And I owe everything to you
Look at the way they pushed us in
Tell me you're not sick of your own skin by now
And well, now i'm lost for words
And even if we don't pull through
I'll overcome
Bloodshot eyes from hopeless nights (yeah)
I curse the sky for the morning sunrise
She turned and stopped and said to bury your youth in the sand
People worry, someone tell me what the rush is for
I feel anxious just waiting for it to strike again
Same as before, only searching forever more positivity
But I look in the mirror and all I see is a figure looking back at me
Since when did this begin
Now it haunts time and time again
Now all the time that I spent laughing
Off all the thoughts that came back crawling
Somewhere along the line I must have missed the joke
Cus all my friends they shadow my lie
And yeah, the anxiety pumps through my blood
Just like it did the very first time
Same as before, only searching forever more positivity
But I look in the mirror and all I see is a figure looking back at me
Do what you can. Can you love? Can you understand possibility?
Since when did this end
The night is painting the streets
Colours you don't want to see.
If I close my eyes for one more night,
maybe I could have kept it all inside.
Maybe next time I think that I should stay away from the white light
that burns down from the hole in the sky
And I'll go to the place where the sun don't mean shit
to the ones who've never walked these honest streets.
And I've seen mirrors within mirrors
and they don't reflect a single thing anymore.
The night is falling down on;
wiping smiles off cold faces
You'll no longer have to eat the dirt
from the hand of kind words.
And I'll go to the place where the sun don't mean shit
to the ones who've never walked these honest streets.
And I've seen mirrors within mirrors
Someone take these eyes
Put them in a box with the rest of what the night has to offer me
Offer me restless waves for I don't need them here, set them free
I need relief but skin wrapping knives doesn't appeal to me
This will continue through the darkness
At least that's what it threatens
Besides, what's the sun good for when clocks only make it worse
And in a place where time is worthless then I'm looking too deep inside
Oh, and the morning laughs
In my face like the pain in my head, repeating.
The rest won't come but I need it more than anything
That will take this off my mind
So when I close my eyes, I sleep.
Someone take these hands
That write these words for any other reason
But for the purpose of the song
And the meaning that is passed on through my desperate lungs
I need a release but the blades down my throat
Aren't doing my any favours, so save us
And show me another door that isn't the same on the other side
Besides, what are dreams good for
When your feet aren't even on the floor
And in a place where time is worthless
Then I'm looking too deep inside
And if I look too deep inside
These years aren't long enough to drag out the past.
These ears aren't strong enough to drag this fucking anchor.
Meanwhile, a train passes through the empty holes of your lungs
and fills what's left with smoke and blackened track marks.
So we hide in museums and wait for the sky to fall.
Down the motion and watch it drift into the ocean.
Now the night never ends in this room anymore.
Meanwhile, a thorn drives through the sides of your time
and tears straight through these metaphors and into what I really need to say.
You were overlooking the seafront, an open bridge.
I asked of another in wonder, as a token of guilt
And as we drift across the asphalt, overlapping the lines in the road
I remember a thought in soft focus for the last time, I know... or don't
A mental image, a picture painting for you.
A wrath of primary colours, only more blue
A mirror image, a home waiting for you.
If only I actually had something to do
I was overlooking the city, a foreign windowsill.
I'd never seen our hole from that angle before, but still
We're drifting across the asphalt, overlapping the lines in the road
Remembering thoughts in soft focus, intact with what we know, or don't
After all, it's the least I could do in return for growing up
I look for the sky to save me
It's not for my bleeding eyes to see
I dragged them through the darkness
'Til the sun soaked up the sea
And I am reminded that
The things I put myself through
Are the choices I chose to make
Sirens call from another state of mind
Thirty thousand miles away
And to think that I could
Over come the hope within me, within you, within me, within you
And to think that I could have undone this unfocused fear
Within you, within you, within me
No regrets for things that never happened
You told us you'd leave forever and no heart of mine is in this place
I'll stay here watching from my third floor window
With an inevitably empty smile stuck on my face
And to think that I could
Over come the hope within me, within you, within me, within you
And to think that I could have undone this unfocused fear
Community in common grounds
Lost in the midst of an aging crowd
The dream is a dream aloud
Or just a mental illness dreamt of and then sold
And despite which way this conscience sways
I'm finding it hard to stop or switch pace
Community in common grounds
Have you ever stepped inside yourself
To see the truth is a dream aloud
And there is no telling what is wrong with us
And to all that's wrong with us...
Come play
Desperation as it comes in waves
Stay away as if it means everything
Never leave this unaware
We should love at all, the love of life will never dare
The ground it splits right open and I see hell
Crime is heavily on your side
Time to be truly victimized
So never leave this unaware
As in the place we'd never thought we'd leave
Or feel the need to share
And i'll often wonder what you see in me
But anyway, you know the way I feel
Come play
Desperation as it comes in waves
Stay away as if it has everything to do
With anything but you
Thrown into the wind of the drawn out last breath
We don't waste, we charge straight into death
with the risk of never taking it to the end
So proffer something new, I'm willing to learn.
Never allow yourself to forget to burn,
against and through the darkness
We'd steal, but not to break common trade,
but for desire to create
To give back what we took in
and watch it bloom from the beginning again
I've never liked my voice anyways,
and rock 'n' roll needs tragedy
So if these bones collide well at least we tried
and besides, I could do with some daylight
Christ we're dangled in the sights of nihilist ways.
Exhausted from sleeping for days
The body gives up but the mind remains, it all relates
So proffer something new, I'm willing to burn.
Never allow yourself to forget to run,
against and through the darkness
And I'm looking at my artificial desire,
guaranteed misery and a heart on fire
But down the bittersweet sensibility
Stepped outside from feeling ill at ease.
Breathed in air wild roses feed at nature's putridity
I can't believe I'm jailed in neighbourhood.
I can't believe I lived to stomach it
Bring him in, shield his eyes.
Shy away from all street crime
Thought not what was truly mine,
Four pretty ears and two dull knives
In old, I engage to take on every passing day with true hate
In old, I engage to take on every passing day with true hate
Crawled back home from being stabbed three times.
Chose with care exactly where to lay and die
Glove in hand, coat on wall,
Sadness in the breath of every call
We're taking too long to make
This shard of entrust break
In old, I engage to take on every passing day with true hate
Sharks don't attack the Irish
It's mostly Australians
There's nothing accomplished
By these splashing citizens
From the moon down to the surface
Of the Mariana's Trench
I won't send you in a cab when
I can take you there myself then
Steal a look over your shoulder
At the distant lights of your firmament
When the sharks finished the Irish
And those people from Berlin
We left our look of the landed
With one of rescue's imminent
From the moon down to the surface
Of the Mariana's Trench
I won't send you in a cab when
I can take you there myself then
Steal a look over your shoulder
The chandeliers of your firmament
Your firmament, baby
[Inaudible]
I can take you there myself then
Steal a look over your shoulder
(Sandman)
Sharks patrol these waters (x2)
Don't let your fingers dangle in the water
And don't you worry about the day glow orange life per server
It won't save you (x2)
Swim for the shores just as fast as your able
Swim like a mother fucker swim
Fast as that seen ships to now
The ever glorious now the ever present now
Drenched in flower and deep-fat-fried
And cooled on paper towels and then devoured
You know I spent 15 years in a life raft
15 years in a life raft and now I got something to say
Stay in your life boats people (x2)
It's murder out there murder out there
Sharks patrol these waters
Sharks patrol these waters hey
Don't you worry about the dayglow orange life preserver
It won't save you (x2)
Sharks don't attack the Irish,

Waves of green everywhere
No ship for long long time
And Jolly Roger upstairs
Is tired of this dull sight
Once my hands were so sexy
But they satisfy me no more
Captain, we need a woman!
And if you have none in store
Give me a shark, give me a shark
Why don't you give me a shark
Give me a shark, give me a shark
You gotta give me a shark
Maybe they are far from perfection
And maybe you don't like their teeth
But sharks are the only girlfriends
Of lonely buccaneers
Sharks never nag you drink and swear
And they are always around
Sure you have heard of mermaids
They are fruits of pirate's love
Sail across the ocean
And bring me to the land
But sharks with all devotion
