Sunburnt 'cause spaced out

Is this a sound
or just a dream?
in my world nothing is quite what it seems

white shroud
clear blue sky
the sea swells a bit
when sailors die

was that a word?
is this a clue?
youre so very far away
but im sure its you

feathers fall
birds in flight
they bury me slowly
is it really still night?

was that a word?
is this a clue?
youre so very far away
but im sure its you

feathers fall
seabirds in flight
in my world
nothing is
