The seals, they cried in jubilee
The sharks, they howled along with me
And birds, they flew into the wind
The whale, he roamed the lonely sea


And I dived into you
I dived into you
On this ocean hue
'Cause I dived into you


The lighthouse dog lifted his brow
The crippled trees bent low to growl
And swans, they wrestled with lifetime's grasp
In hopefulness they nestled the past
Teachers and travelers made their mark
They dined and feasted on whale and shark
And so the ocean lost its depths
And boredom rained as the ocean wept

Birds they raised their young for dead

And ladies used feathery pillows for bed
And black snow came and black snow stayed
And froze the ocean out of love
Out of love


I lay quiet, next to you
Transformed a whole
Transformed anew
No longer diving into
But lying quiet next
To you

  1. "Let me go" she told you
    Cause her heart you'll never get
    With the coldness in her eyes
    She begs you to forget

    She's been burnt by the angel's eyes
    And for his touch she longs
    For the boy she once knew
    When she recognized his face

    This stinging sensation of her heart
    Into reality would never turn
    As she'll have a mask of fiction
    And he wouldn't recognize her in the crowd

    She writes to her angel
    When he's so far away
    She thinks that maybe
    In her songs he'd vanish
    He'd go away, go away

    She smiles and she laughs
    As his voice echoes through her
    She can't even see you
    While he conquers her nights with his presence

    When she's scared and distant
    It's him that she's scared for
    Cause she knows if he gets lost
    For him she couldn't be there for

    So she writes to her angel
    When he's so far away
    She thinks that maybe
    In her songs he'd vanish
    He'd go away, go away

    Deep down she cries
    For the cards they were dealt
    Is this the absolution before the beginning?
    In this world they were never meant

    And she writes to her angel
    When he's so far away
    She thinks that maybe
    In her songs he'd vanish
    He'd go away, go away...

    Maybe then she'll love you
    Only if he's not there
    But his existence alone
    Is in the way...
