I can still see the sun through the storm
But let me tell you, I feel anything but warm
The waves rose and took from us the beach
The land crumbled and sank back into the sea

And somewhere out in the cold of the Pacific deep
Opens its eyes and flexes its fins, tryna break free
It’s the world, it’s our heart, it’s in our lungs
Rising up with the swell of the ocean

And the time that it took to wake back up
Was more than enough to keep it locked shut
But in the haze of a life lived back to front
No one stopped to make sure that it didn’t erupt

And as the storm rolled in I tried to forget
All the useless shit I’d kept in my head
All the things that I felt, heard, and read
And all love left to give that had never been said

And I thought that I’d never again find that warm place
Until the record needle skipped my vein and everything was erased
Now I weigh one-hundred and I can never escape
Even with my skin breaking off as I increase the dosage I take

And the rain lashed like tongues, soaking me through the skin
It was then I knew how much trouble I was in
I felt like I was going to turn to a tree in the leafless grove
And leave just like Plath through the kitchen stove

Someone left it on so the water would turn back to steam
The tide rushing through the halls to lap at my feet
Biting my tongue, I suppressed a scream
And wondered if I was stuck back there in that dream
