Somehow she felt so sorry for the demon (She kissed his face while he was sleeping) A guilty love she needed healing (He’d never know her freedom) No detection from her Mothers eyes Devoted waves were on his side They crushed her soul they called her a liar So she swam higher In the night through seas on fire Though her blood was in the water On ocean floors She was somebody’s daughter The dark blue purified her Out from underneath Cut her ankles from the reeds Soon she would breathe Though midnight tides defy her, they don’t define her She swam higher To the surface to the light oh Where the screaming ain’t so soft Here on ocean floors She was somebody’s daughter The dark blue purified her Out from underneath Cut her ankles from the reeds Soon she would breathe Though midnight tides defy her, they don’t define her She swam higher And over the underneath her The closure the truth that freed her Oxygen inside her lungs Stronger legs so she could run on water to the light where he can’t find her She swam higher In the night through seas on fire Though her blood was in the water On ocean floors She was somebody’s daughter The dark blue purified her Out from underneath Cut her ankles from the reeds Soon she would breathe Though midnight tides defy her, they don’t define her She swam higher To the surface to the light oh Where the screaming ain’t so soft Here on ocean floors She was somebody’s daughter The dark blue purified her Out from underneath Cut her ankles from the reeds Soon she would breathe Though midnight tides defy her, they don’t define her She swam higher
