How I Became The Sea 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 (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 How I became the sea.
