The Sea Lyrics

Something broke the even surface
Camouflaged and partly blind
Parading fireflies in the orange light
Something nameless woke when we closed our eyes to the burning salt on an island
Surrounded by the sea and the darkened earth

Each other's perfect luck
Each other's pain
Each other's promise
And each other's guilt
Each other's blessing
Each other's curse
Each other's everything
Each other's loss
Each other's blue sky
Each other's rain
Each other's dark night
And each other's day
Each other's paradise
Each other's hell
Some things remain while others get lost

I saw the writhing shapes of men
Bathed in moonlight
Beautiful and monstrous
Were a song felt in the deepest bones
Felt the soothing wind like a lover's warmth
We're like butterflies with flailing wings inside the palm
Just a picture dear
Swallowed by the sea, by the sea...

Each other's perfect luck
Each other's pain
Each other's promise
And each other's guilt
Each other's blessing
Each other's curse
Each other's everything
Each other's loss
Each other's blue sky
Each other's rain
Each other's dark night
And each other's day
Each other's paradise
Each other's hell
Some things remain while others get lost

Each other's perfect luck
Each other's pain
Each other's promise
And each other's guilt
Each other's blessing
Each other's curse
Each other's everything
Each other's loss
Each other's blue sky
Each other's rain
Each other's dark night
And each other's day
Each other's paradise
Each other's hell
Some things remain while others get lost
