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 stormy 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
Yeah, I could finally crash again
And that's how I became the sea
I wrenched the engines off and drank them down
The taste made my blood run soft through the underground
And I brought the oceanside to it's rusty knees
As I felt the eventide deepen my shallow dreams
When the sky fell in
When the hurricanes came for me
Yeah, I could finally crash again
And that's how I became the sea
