[Verse 1] I found the shore erased By footprints in the ash My lantern showed a shape That moved before it passed The tide came up at noon Black glass on broken stone It knew my name, it knew I was never alone [Pre-Chorus] The gulls all turned to face The place beneath the foam Something old was breathing Through the bones below [Chorus] Black tide, take me under Black tide, call my name Black tide, I remember We were made the same (We were made the same) [Verse 2] In the wells behind my house The water learned to sing A thousand tiny mouths Inside a wedding ring My mother shut the door Said, "Don't look at the sky" But I saw it blink awake And split the night in two [Pre-Chorus] The windows filled with teeth The mirrors dimmed and shook I heard my own voice answer From the bottom of the book [Chorus] Black tide, take me under Black tide, call my name Black tide, I remember We were made the same (We were made the same) [Bridge] Now the ceiling bends low Like a hand around my throat Stars peel off the darkness And float into my coat If you hear me knocking Leave the door unmade Something vast is coming To collect what I gave [Final Chorus] Black tide, take me under Black tide, call my name Black tide, I remember We were made the same Black tide, take me under Black tide, seal the flame Black tide, I remember We were made the same (We were made the same) (We were made the same)
