Oceans

Verse 1 I’m standing at the edge of silence, The tide is pulling at my feet. Every secret, every violence, Is drowning underneath. Pre-Chorus I can’t breathe when the waves are crashing, I can’t speak when the storm is near. But the more I fight, the more I’m sinking— And I’m still here. Chorus Oceans, pull me under, Break me open, drag me down. But I’ll rise through the thunder, I won’t let the water take my crown. Even if I shatter, Even if I’m lost to the deep, These oceans can’t have me— I was made to breathe. Verse 2 Salt stings like the words unspoken, Scars ripple just beneath my skin. But the chains around me will be broken, This war, I’ll finally win. Pre-Chorus Every wave is a test I’m facing, Every tear is a part of me. And I’ll burn my fear into the water, Till I’m set free. Chorus Oceans, pull me under, Break me open, drag me down. But I’ll rise through the thunder, I won’t let the water take my crown. Even if I shatter, Even if I’m lost to the deep, These oceans can’t have me— I was made to breathe. Bridge (soft, with violin + piano) I hear the echoes in the dark, A thousand voices call my name. But I’m not drowning, I’m becoming— Stronger in the waves. Final Chorus (full band explosion) Oceans, pull me under, Break me open, drag me down. But I’ll rise through the thunder, I won’t let the water take my crown. Even if I shatter, Even if I’m lost to the deep, These oceans can’t have me— I was made to breathe. Outro (whispered, fading with violin) I was made… to breathe.
