[Verse 1] Black ocean Older than the mountains’ bones Keeps counting Years in grains of broken stone Cold pressure Folding light and sound in two It listens Knows more than it shows to you [Chorus] Black ocean Breathing in the dark Billions of quiet sparks Every secret sinking slow Names and faces Fossils in the flow Black ocean Keeper of the deep What you bury What you keep Every shadow Every trace you hold Black ocean Older than we know [Verse 2] Blind lanterns Drifting where the day won’t reach Sharp silence Broken by a stranger’s speech Soft tendrils Brush a rusted iron hull Old shipwreck Dreaming in a bed of gulls [Chorus] Black ocean Breathing in the dark Billions of quiet sparks Every secret sinking slow Names and faces Fossils in the flow Black ocean Keeper of the deep What you bury What you keep Every shadow Every trace you hold Black ocean Older than we know [Bridge] Who were you Before the first sky cooled Before any map Any rule You swallowed fire Carried ice Held the first heartbeat inside [Chorus] Black ocean Breathing in the dark Billions of quiet sparks Every secret sinking slow Names and faces Fossils in the flow Black ocean Keeper of the deep What you bury What you keep Every shadow Every trace you hold Black ocean Older than we know
