Across the ocean, under the sand That got in your wounds Across the ocean, under the land That you now consume There sleeps a demon It wakes at night by the light of the moon And it's watchin' while you sleep While you sit and dream At all the people laughing, pickin' up the shells Too concerned with suntans, nobody can tell They end up empty, wanting, wondering Hollow like the shells On seashores from sailors and tales they'll never Tell to their maidens and babies Tales that they'll never tell Across the ocean, under the water That got in your lungs There sleeps a demon It knows exactly what you will become And it's watchin' while you sleep While you sit and dream At all the people laughing, pickin' up the shells Too concerned with suntans, nobody can tell They end up empty, wanting, wondering Hollow like the shells On seashores from sailors and tales they'll never Tell to their maidens and babies Tales that they'll never tell While you're dreaming, past the sleep Leave behind the things you keep While you're dreaming, past the sleep Leave behind the things you keep They end up empty, wanting, wondering Hollow like the shells On seashores from sailors and tales they'll never Tell to their maidens and babies Tales that they'll never tell They'll never tell to thier maidens and babies Tales that they'll never tell They end up empty, wanting, wondering Hollow like the shells
