June was the lobster shell i dug by hand
A haven that hid me well beneath the sand
The wide windy waves washed in, but i stayed dry
The great breakers broke again, as i nodded off inside

And then, when the empress ran aground,
And my eyes turned blue and green,
I heard a gorgeous sound,
And that's when it became a dream
When the sky fell in,
When the hurricanes came for me,
I could finally crash again,
And that's how i became the sea

I wrenched the engines off and drank them down
The depths turned the iron soft as they swiftly drowned
And i brought the ocean side to its rusty knees
As i felt the even tide deep in my shallow dreams

And then, when the empress ran aground,
And my eyes turned blue and green,
I heard a gorgeous sound,
And that's when it became a dream
When the sky fell in,
When the hurricanes came for me,
I could finally crash again,
And that's how i became the sea

When the sky fell in (when the sky fell in)
When the hurricanes came for me
I could finally crash again,
And that's how i became the sea (how i became the sea)
That's how i became the sea (how i became the sea)
That's how i became the sea

When the sky fell in,
When the hurricanes came for me
I could finally crash again,
And that's how i became the sea
