lyrics

the shore is gone
the jagged rocks
eaten by the sea
a violent thief is she
having once held it all

the land emerged
he broke away
from the arms around his waist
and rose towards
the sun
now everyone hear her waves, hear them!

or do you hear no evil
you know you talk like you're innocent
embrace me
and we'll sink even deeper
erode me here
crack me open here
rise up over me
and take me deeper into you

the sun it sets
it lays to rest
with skulls and sunken ships
it's tryst
beneath the brine
a smooth stone rolls in the nighttime
but men still drown
their boats overturned empty in the morn
no love is enough for she
those waves still crash through the dark

you know it, that I'm fighting for you

the bones of earth
and veins where sprung
the seabed and it's reach
bleeding so free and long
this outpour of love is too much

the continents secede
breaking every wave
while sinking down themselves
smaller and wounded they're lost
the crashing grows louder, listen!

I'm wandering down to where
the land meets the sea
all to hear them meet
all to find the meaning
hear her cry..

"know me, I am subsumer
it hurts me when you rip my water
push against the waves too the bottom floor and enter me completely"

and she screams
"are you trying to leave me, are you trying to leave?
are you trying to leave me, are you trying to leave?
are you trying to leave me, are you trying to leave?"

"so then leave"
