Black Coral Isle

[Verse 1] There’s a map I keep Folded in my boot Sometimes I look at it Under a broken moon No docks, no names Just black coral teeth And a ring of cliffs That keeps its own sleep [Pre-Chorus] The birds won’t land there They circle and scream The tide goes backward Like it’s hiding a dream [Chorus] Black coral isle (Black coral isle) Where nightmares grow Black coral isle Black coral isle (Black coral isle) You sail too close And they'll come for you [Verse 2] Caves with salt on stone Mouths cut in the hill Pale eggs in the dark That never stay still Woven vines like hair Pulsing as they moan Every footstep wakes Something born alone [Pre-Chorus] The moon gets thin there The sky turns old And every heartbeat Feels borrowed and cold [Chorus] Black coral isle (Black coral isle) Where nightmares grow Black coral isle Black coral isle (Black coral isle) You sail too close They'll come for you [Bridge] I saw my own face In a pool of rain It smiled too long Then screamed my name So leave it sleeping Let the deep keep score Some doors in the sea Should stay closed forever [Final Chorus] Black coral isle (Black coral isle) Where nightmares grow Black coral isle Black coral isle (Black coral isle) You sail too close They'll take your soul
