[Verse 1] Salt on my tongue Black moon Cracked lung Ships in my chest All trembling at once You call from the trench A name like a wound Ancient and patient Filling the room [Chorus] Oceans of Tiamat Rising in my veins Every wave you send Breaks another chain Drag me through the undertow Tear my little map in half If I drown inside your chaos I will learn your laugh [Verse 2] Teeth made of stars Crowns made of rust You draw constellations In the drift of my dust I’m standing on nothing On the lip of your roar One more small whisper Then never No shore [Chorus] Oceans of Tiamat Rising in my veins Every wave you send Breaks another chain Drag me through the undertow Tear my little map in half If I drown inside your chaos I will learn your laugh [Bridge] You say “Unmake” And my borders break (oh) All my little kingdoms Wash away like chalk But in the swirl In the swirling black I finally hear The first word come back [Chorus] Oceans of Tiamat Carving out my name From the broken pieces You invent my shape Drag me through the undertow Tear my last defence apart If I’m rewritten in your waters Write me in your heart
