I wish I was the sea
That I hid endangered species
that one million people would aspire to be the first to find

I wish I was a roomful of gems
That I had rows and rows of the most beautiful diamonds
intoxicating, makes you stunned
and worth one million a piece

But reality is just not that complicated
I don't know myself enough to teach you anything
You keep trying to pry me open
but there's only one thing I can tell you
there's nothing in the pages
They're empty

Because you keep trying to read me
But you have to let me write me first

One day I will be the sea
But it's gonna have to take a while
And while you're here, watching me
I can't become something beautiful

I will become something worth searching for
But I'll have to get there alone
