lyrics

In the turns of your limbs I feel at home
Your skin as soft as ribbon satin, your hair's as light as gold
Though the oceans turn more tumultuous, and the thunder grows more bold
Down beneath the wooden deck we are safe inside the hold

Unapologetic and alive we fled our angry adolescence,
But still stuffed in all our nooks and crooks are guilt and, fear and, worry
All hollowed out, we make sweet sounds when we push our lips together
Those thoughts of yours that sink you down I will free from where they tether.

Each breath we share is dangerous, with its dizzy dark desire,
For now, I long to hold you close even when the people gather
We are betrayed, by the ease with which the sand meets the water
As I'm soothed to sleep by your voice I only hope that we will weather this

But I hear, the crashing, of dark waves upon the bow!
And the, splintering of beams that have held so strong till now!
The oceans have come to claim us!
The oceans have come to claim us!

But It is us, here, it is us among the wrecks
It is us, here, and we're alive among the wrecks
