Pacific Prison

Verse 1

Her hands are worn soft through erosion

And her skin is all but sheer

Soft as silk, colored perfection

'Ore the turning of the years

She paints the sky with eyes of amber

The setting sun her biggest fear

Her voice is heard through every seashell

And the ocean catches all her tears

Chorus

The sand works into everything here

And it eats away the years

The clouds may come but it is clear

The sand and the surf never brought her fear

Back on the Pacific she calls home

She was lost, she had nowhere to go

But the ocean kept her like his closest friend

The ocean kept more than good byes in the end

Verse 2

Her mind is endless like the ocean

With treasures held so deep within

Her hair is dampened and it soothes

The salt that settles on her skin

The wind it makes her legs keep moving

To places she thinks she has been

Then buries her deep inside a memory

Full of hatred and wrought with sin

Chorus

Bridge

But she'll just wait for the sky to cave in

She knows it's coming any moment now

An inky hole where a heaven should have been

Shattered pieces all that's left on the ground

And they're whisked away as mighty sailors

Making a dream where a nightmare was found

The ocean erases the blood from her hands

But the missing pieces are nowhere to be found

Verse 3

In the end the ocean calls her

Back to every rocky shore

Her blood is scattered 'ore the seashells

But she will return for more

Tidal waves will get your nowhere

If away is where you want to go

As she dances along the ocean

This saline prison becomes her home

Chorus

Outro

The ocean calls her back so sweetly

"Come, my child. Come back home."
