Tides Beneath My Skin

Lyrics

Verse 1
I hear the ocean call my name
Through every storm, through every wave
Something ancient in the deep
Has always lived inside of me
The water bends beneath my hands
Like it remembers what I am
And every heartbeat in my chest
Pulls me farther from the land
Pre-Chorus
No chain can hold the rising sea…
No shore can silence what I’ll be…
Chorus
There are tides beneath my skin
Ancient waters pulling me in
And when the moonlight floods my veins
The dragon wakes beneath the rain
I was never born to stay
Bound forever to one shape
The sea remembers me again—
There are tides beneath my skin
Verse 2
Soul stood beside the crashing tide
Never turning from my eyes
Even when the storm grew wild
Even when the beast arrived
Scales like rivers wrapped in blue
Thunder rolling through the deep
Yet somehow through the rising waves
He still reached for me
Bridge
I am not curse
I am not cage
I am the storm
I am the wave
Final Chorus
There are tides beneath my skin
And now the sea has pulled me in
Wings of water split the sky
As ancient oceans rise tonight
And if the world fears what I’ve become
Then let them run from who I was
Because the dragon finally sings—
Through the tides beneath my skin…
