How I Became The Sea

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 great breakers broke again As I nodded off inside [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 [Verse 2] I wrenched the engines off And drank them down The depths turned the iron soft As they swiftly drowned And I brought the ocean side To its rusty knees As I felt the even tide Deep in my shallow dreams [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 [Instrumental] [Verse 3] 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 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)[x2] [Outro] (When the sky fell in) (When the hurricanes came for me) (I could finally crash again) (And that's how I became the sea) (How I became the sea)
