Thunder and lightning and glass on the beach I covered my ears with lace, put shoes on my feet I walked out into the ocean with my heart in my hand And cried for a tornado to scoop up the sand
I buried my locket in an old leather case Hoping that time and water could erase All of the engraving you chiseled through my veins And that you can feel the lightening each time it rains
But no one would fear me, no hermit or fish Came out of hiding to hear my soft wish So I drowned my sorrows in a green bottle of sin And cursed out the devil as he laughed at his win.
Almost vividly, could I see your face Almost surely, did you begin to escape.
With salt and seashells, I lathered my veil That I found in the tummy of a large ocean whale Who ate out my innards and spit me back on the ground So I could be rescued, if I ever was found.
But no help came the night that I died So I finally threw out the pain and from here, I flied.
