How I Became The Sea

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
June was the lobster shell I dug by handA haven that hid me well beneath the sandThe wide windy waves washed in, but I stayed dryThe great breakers broke again, as I nodded off insideAnd 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 dreamWhen the sky fell in,When the hurricanes came for me,I could finally crash again,And that's how I became the seaI wrenched the engines off and drank them downThe depths turned the iron soft as they swiftly drownedAnd I brought the ocean side to its rusty kneesAs I felt the even tide deepen my shallow dreamsAnd 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 dreamWhen the sky fell in,When the hurricanes came for me,I could finally crash again,And that's how I became the seaWhen the sky fell in (when the sky fell in)When the hurricanes came for meI could finally 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 seaWhen the sky fell in,When the hurricanes came for meI could finally crash again,And that's how I became the sea
