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 great breakers broke again, as i nodded off inside 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 ocean side to its rusty knees As i felt the even tide deep in my shallow dreams 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 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 When the sky fell in, When the hurricanes came for me I could finally crash again, And that's how i became the sea
