The tides were high and there was love in her eyes
tidesΒ Β of fear, eyes of creatures that live way down

Deep in the Sea

The hunt was real, she swam deeper,
knowing she wouldn't
come back to the surface again

If truth were real, she knew there were no way farther

And so she swam

The skies were dark and there was pain in his eyes
skies of fire, stars of creatures burning

Down into infinity

The hunt was real, he shone farther,
knowing he wouldn't
ever light the bottom of the ocean

If lies were real, he knew there would be no way to shine deeper

And so he began again
