His Ocean

Lyrics

Verse 1
They threw me out the airlock
Sent me spinning in the black
Then I hit a world of water
And the dark hit back
No rescue on the horizon
No hand, no shore, no name
Just that endless pressure
And the crash inside my frame

Pre-Chorus
Then something moved below me
Old as grief, old as stone
Six arms in the deep blue
And a voice inside my bones
He said, you are not broken
Not while I am here

Chorus
Everything falls in his ocean
Everything falls in his ocean
Even me, even me
He says I’m his to keep
Everything falls in his ocean
Everything falls in his ocean
Nothing leaves that deep
When he holds me, I can breathe

Verse 2
I should fear the way he found me
I should fight the way he stays
But he mended all my shattered bones
And changed my lungs and ways
Gave me gills like hidden mercy
Let me sleep in tidal dark
Pressed my face against his heartbeat
Like a seal around my heart

Pre-Chorus
He don’t ask, he only knows
Where the broken things belong
Wraps me up in velvet current
Makes the terror feel like song
And every cold thing in me
Starts to melt right here

Chorus
Everything falls in his ocean
Everything falls in his ocean
Even me, even me
He says I’m his to keep
Everything falls in his ocean
Everything falls in his ocean
Nothing leaves that deep
When he holds me, I can breathe

Bridge
I thought love was a lifeline
I thought love was running free
But his arms are the undertow
And they’re carrying me
If this is a kind of prison
Then it’s made of warm blue light
And I don’t want the surface
If it means I lose this night

Chorus
Everything falls in his ocean
Everything falls in his ocean
Even me, even me
He says I’m his to keep
Everything falls in his ocean
Everything falls in his ocean
Nothing leaves that deep
When he holds me, I can breathe

Outro
I am his
I am safe
In the deep
I stay
