How I Became The Sea

Verse 1:   June was the lobster shell I dug by hand A haven that hid me well Beneath the sand   The white windy waves washed in But I stayed dry The great breakers broke again ’Cause I’m on and off inside And then when the empress run 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 (same as verse 1): I wrenched the engines off             And dragged 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 run 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:              (2x) Chorus 2: (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
