How I became the sea
June was the lobster shell
I dug by hand
A haven that hid me well
Beneath the sand
The wide windy waves washed in
But I stayed dry
The grave breakers broke again
As I nodded off and sighed
(Chorus)
And then
When the empress ran aground
And my eyes turned blue and green
I heard a gorgeous sound
And that's when it became a dream
When the sky fell in
When the hurricanes came for me
I could finally crash again
And that's how I became the sea
I wrenched the engines off
And drank them down
The depths turned the iron soft
As they swiftly drowned
And I brought the oceanside
To its rusty knees
As I felt the even tide
Deep in my shallow dreams
(Chorus)
(When the sky fell in)
When the sky fell in
(When the sky fell in)
When the hurricanes came for me
I could finally crash again
(Crash again)
And that's how I became the sea
(How I became the sea)
That's how I became the sea
(How I became the sea)
That's how I became the sea
(How I became the sea...)
(When the sky fell in
When the hurricanes came for me
I could finally crash again
And that's how I became the sea)
