the ocean is made
of tears and sadness

but i am inside a metal shell
safe and sound

it is all good, it is alright

though that is until the salt
kisses the shell

the oxidation lurks my metal shell
the smell of salt is evident
my eyes sting
i am seeing it come

the door of the shell flies away

blind by lighting
deaf by thunder
all around night
no stars
no moon
no light

and i have been here my whole life
it has all been a lie

i am pulling my way through this dark waters
trying to see
trying to free

oh but there is no way
the air drugs me with confusion

i look at the horizon
or what is left of it

i search and search
for a sign of light

what i catch are dreams,

and the secrets of my heart

which lay hidden somewhere dark
just so that,
not even i
and not even they
are brave enough to fathom
the beasts that sleep inside

and i see no land
i see not land
i see no land
