From the recording TRENCHCOAT MANIFESTO: WHICH MOMENT
Lyrics
The world is an ocean
In fact, it's two oceans
An ocean of water
And an ocean of air
And we at the bottom
(No, we at the center)
Are stranded there
Sometimes the water's too murky
For even the fish to see
And though she offers
Her massive expanses
The ocean will never set you free
The world is an ocean
In fact, it's two oceans
An ocean of water
And an ocean of air
Go down to the bottom
To the depths of the shadows
You will find me there
The world is a woman
Tender and fair
Beaten and brutalized
Everywhere
The world is a woman
Searching the night
Her children are missing
Her children are missing
Run off in the night
The world is a morning
Verdant and strong
Promising
The world is a morning
Watching the Sun
Will not turn its back
The world is an ocean
Sucking the brine
Salt in my face
Stinging my eyes
The ocean swells
It chokes me inside
The ocean is coming
There's nowhere to hide
From the ocean
The ocean
Listen
It's the ocean
The ocean
