The ocean between us
Is deep, cold, and wide
My rock - a small island
Your land consumes sky
Dark waters surround me
Storm clouds gather tight
Must get to your shore
If I want to survive
Turn the wave
Into words, into thoughts
Another language
I've never been taught
Think murky water
Speak clashing tide
Learn how to drown
To make it there alive
Tried building some bridges
Constructed a ship
A sea monster emerged
From the depth of the deep
We made conversation
When the beast wrecked the yard
Turned out she was lonely
Just came to hang out
Turn the wave
Into words, into thoughts
Another language
I've never been taught
Think murky water
Speak clashing tide
Learn how to drown
To make it there alive
Plunged into black water
From the top of the cliff
Thick fog over ocean
My limbs are dead stiff
You turn on the beacon
To light up the way
Hooray! I can reach you
We'll see a new day
Turn the wave
Into words, into thoughts
Another language
I've never been taught
Think murky water
Speak clashing tide
Learn how to drown
To make it there alive
Turn the wave
Into words, into thoughts
Another language
I've never been taught
Think murky water
Speak clashing tide
I learned how to drown
I got to you alive
