Spiritbox - Tsunami Sea Lyrics
Fata Morgana
Sorrow follows me
I feel it in my inhale when I breathe
I can feel it in the exhale underneath
Cascading over everyone and everything
Watch it bloom like a bloodstain over me
Wade into punishment, carry me
And all that ever was will ever be
Pain is nothing but an infinite enemy upon my conscience
Fate is a mirage
Hold me up 'til the morning
Await in phenomenon
Letting go without warning
Constant, I create
Tie myself to the masthead, diamond chain
I collapse like a rotten spider vein
Crawling up to the surface, harbor wave
Is ingrained in my own lowness
Back to me
And all that ever was, will ever be
Pain is just an infinite enemy upon my conscience
Stagnation is fatal
Let go of my conscience
From beyond the pale
Fate is a mirage
Hold me up 'til the morning
Await in phenomenon
Let it go without warning
Back to me

Black Rainbow
Exit
Inside the midnight, you've been slithering
You form the column's deficiency
I latch on to you, we repressurize
Infrared paradise
Upwards, feel the pressure
Abscess, heart is a hole
Dissolve, displace, rejoice, repeat
No pressure here, admit defeat
Dissolve, displace, rejoice, repeat
No pressure here to meet your soul
Beyond the black rainbow
Exit
Inside the midnight, you've been slithering
(Out of my way)
You form the column's deficiency
(You're deficient)
I latch on to you, we repressurize
Infrared paradise
Dissolve, displace, rejoice, repeat
Dissolve, displace, rejoice, repeat
Dissolve, displace, rejoice, repeat
Dissolve, displace, rejoice, repeat
Dissolve, displace, rejoice, repeat
No pressure here, admit defeat
Your heart is a hole
I can see for miles and miles beyond the black rainbow
Heart is a hole
I can see for miles and miles beyond the black rainbow

Perfect Soul
Echos flow, bury me
Sharpen your knife upon the stone
Cover me up before you go, so delicate the orchids grow
Buried under melted snow
So I call out your name and let it die slow
I pray that the rain will wash me up, so obvious I can't let go
Carried in the ebb and flow
So cover up the well and leave
A gift to summon the spring
Imitation of a perfect soul
I shine a light into a thousand eyes all watching, waiting
Echos flow
Deafening
Calling up
Bury me
A fortress of eyes and gnashing teeth
In judgment they're staring back at me
So obvious I can't let go of where you buried me
So cover up the well and leave
A gift to summon the spring
Imitation of a perfect soul
I shine a light into a thousand eyes all watching, waiting
Echos flow
Deafening
Calling up
Bury me
So cover up the well and leave
A gift to summon the spring
Imitation of a perfect soul
I shine a light into a thousand eyes all watching (waiting)
Wait for me (echos flow)
A gift to summon the spring (deafening)
Imitation of a perfect soul (calling up)
I shine a light into a thousand eyes all watching, waiting (bury me)
My dreams are just a fantasy
And that is all they'll ever be
I turn the lights out on a thousand eyes all watching, waiting

Keep Sweet
(I let it die in a heat wave)
I see a passage in my mind
Where crooked teeth and hungry eyes
Cannot latch onto me when I walk alone
But violent little pieces hide like honey bees inside their hive
Insidious, they rot alive and I know they follow me like a ghost
I always knew there was a reason
My innocence was a keepsake worn around my neck
Shake my head 'til I see straight
Make my mind so placid, so my body can go easy
You'll never take that part of me, I felt it die in a heat wave
(In a heat wave)
Devour little pieces of my heart when you need them
I wanna tear it out now when it's beating
I wanna watch it bleed out with no feeling
So I keep sweet to keep safe
Temperate in a heat wave
I wanna tear it out now when it's beating
I wanna watch it bleed out with no feeling
So suddenly it feels like I woke from a dream
And everything that happened to me was a talisman I threw like a stone
You constantly infantilize, passionless in a passive life
Entitlement just to pull out every seam
Devour little pieces of my heart when you need them
I wanna tear it out now when it's beating
I wanna watch it bleed out with no feeling
So I keep sweet to keep safe
Temperate in a heat wave
I wanna tear it out now when it's beating
I wanna watch it bleed out with no feeling
I always knew there was a reason my innocence was a keepsake
You'll never take that part of me, I felt it die in a heat wave
Devour to pieces of my heart when you need them
So I keep sweet to keep safe
Temperate in a heat wave
I wanna tear it out now when it's beating
I wanna watch it bleed out with no feeling

Soft Spine
(Soft spine)
(Eyes wide)
You all deserve each other
String of pearls to keep the bind
Twisting tighter, is it fine? (Can I step outside?)
A constant voyeur in my mind
Insidious by nature
Rewarding sick behavior
Soft spine
Ascending up to meet my
Eyes wide
I am a witness to your
Regicide
The dissolution of your
Soft spine
You all deserve each other
You steal the echo from their ghosts
You pick your teeth with sacred bones
I hate the ones that love you
And those who profit from you
It's time to reap the tide you sow
Soft spine
Ascending up to meet my
Eyes wide
I am a witness to your
Regicide
The dissolution of your
Soft spine
You all deserve each other
(You all deserve each other)
Your god will sort you when you die
Soft spine
Eyes wide (I am a witness to your)
Regicide
The dissolution of your
Soft spine
You all deserve each other

Tsunami Sea
Fill your lungs up once more
Feel so reckless and sure
That you can tear away the armor in me
That I'm the person that you want me to be
There is an ocean between us
Hurricanes and flash floods
Where perfection is a currency
(Fall away as you take me from here)
You hold your breath for someone I'll never be
Out of my depth, you got me dreaming but I know
How deep it goes
And so I turn all my tears into a tsunami sea
Tumultuous down to the bottom where I know
How deep it goes
Hours, I could lay here for hours
The bed of a forest I can petrify
Through broken waves that leave us blind
If I stay here, you'll wash away like a landslide
You bleed into every color that my mind can conceive
You only love the ideation of me
I wait as you hold your breath for someone I'll never be
Out of my depth, you got me dreaming but I know
How deep it goes
And so I turn all my tears into a tsunami sea
Tumultuous down to the bottom where I know
How deep it goes
Turn my head so I can meet your eyes
Intertwined
Fall away, I will wait here for hours
I could lay here for hours
(Fall away as you take me from here)
Hours, I could lay here for hours (fall away)
I wait as you hold your breath for someone I'll never be
Out of my depth, you got me dreaming but I know
How deep it goes
And so I turn all my tears into a tsunami sea
Tumultuous down to the bottom where I know
How deep it goes

A Haven with Two Faces
I hope you still have a hideaway for me
Under the mountain, floating on the sea
Swear I saw an island there
Washed away by a temporary stream
I hope it still flows back to me
This haven has two faces
One is to create and one is to replace it
A forest I can fade in
With roots you'll never see flowing back to me
So they flooded it
Destroyed everything
Ripped the mountain out
Sank into the sea
Roots paralyzed by the salt
A horizon line crashing over me
I hope you still have a hideaway for me
Under the mountain, floating on the sea
Swear I saw an island there
Washed away by a temporary stream
I hope it still flows back to me
I counter the current now
It's destined to turn somehow
I watch as it flows backwards to me
No wake and no shelter
We are eroded
I remember
Haven has two faces
One is to create and one is to replace it
(In the wake of)
A harbor I can fade in
Something fabricated
So close I can taste it
All flowing back to me
I hope you still have a hideaway for me
Under the mountain, floating on the sea
Swear I saw an island there
Washed away by a temporary stream
I hope it still flows back to me

No Loss, No Love
I feel as clear as the eye in the sky
Send me down in a spiral
Foundation stays as sediment slides
Sudden death in the hollow
Misery is a delicate lace
Silence as it covers my face
Now I feel as clear as the eye that I follow
Send me down in a spiral
I call out
With no answer
I was born in an estuary destined to the sea
I was surrounded by pearls that I could not eat
And diamonds that I could not drink
Silent screaming
Forces beckon
Beta drift I beg you, join me
Forest sinking
Broken vortex
Beta drift I beg you, join me
I feel as clear as the eye in the sky
Send me down in a spiral
Foundation stays as sediment slides
Sudden death in the hollow
Misery is a delicate lace
Silence as it covers my face
Now I feel as clear as the eye that I follow
Send me down in a spiral
Twist my face in a desolate smile
Taste the salt in my blood
There is a waste, I feel no sentiment
No loss, no love
In a bleached cavern of bones, I reach my destination
An island of solace beneath a corpse's feet
I can feel something sinister under the surface
I know an island that breathes is a body that eats
And now it's showing it's teeth
Under the surface I see
Now it's showing its teeth
Under the surface I see
Now it's showing it's teeth

Crystal Roses
Destination is a meadow
A siren who sings in the dark
Guiding me back to the start
Sailing aimless on the petals
Desire her dreams from afar
Forgotten, she screams to the stars
For echo of an echo flowing nowhere
Buried in a message somewhere out there
In the clear
Crystal roses
Feel your echoes flow
Until my self control
Disappears
Bound and frozen
I seep into the cold
Everlasting hold upon you
(Upon you)
A siren who sings in the dark
Guiding me back to the start
Striking a match in the dark
Now I can see who you are
You are an echo of an echo flowing nowhere
Buried in a message somewhere out there
In the (in the, in the) clear
Crystal roses
Feel your echoes flow
Until my self control
Disappears
Bound and frozen
I seep into the cold
An everlasting hold upon you
There is a reason why I felt this way
Beyond the pale of human nature
Oleander on a simple grave
Bitter roses want you to disappear
Bound and frozen
I seep into the cold
An everlasting hold upon you
(Upon you)

Ride the Wave
I am alone again
An island separates me from my home and then
You pull me closer and you tell me to control myself
An inlet with no shore
Temper the glass again
We speak in metaphors
If the sentence is right
Why does my body interfere?
Like a thief in the night
To steal the stars when they appear
No constellations guide me here
A voice inside me screaming
Ride the wave like a message in a bottle
For the only words I ever wanna hear
I will wait with syllables I swallow
Bitter taste until they disappear
Remove the salt from my veins
No navigation or soul to blame
The ink is poison in my brain
If the sentence is right, why does my body disappear?
If I turn out the lights then they can listen to me
Ride the wave like a message in a bottle
For the only words I ever wanna hear
I will wait with syllables I swallow
Bitter taste until they disappear
I try to tell myself those words are for someone else
A delusion, I feel so clear
My heart corrodes itself
A vessel I can't compel
To break open when you pull me near
Hold these words a little longer
Illusion of my depth is stronger
Hold these words a little longer
Illusion of my depth is stronger
Hold these words a little longer
Illusion of my depth is stronger
('Til I break)
I pass like a ship in the night
By your words so divine
I can take what's mine
Islands built on floating roses
No foundation, nothing grows
You drag me down to hidden trenches
Sirens singing, echoes flow
Ride the wave like a message in a bottle
For the only words I ever wanna hear
I will wait with the syllables I swallow
Bitter taste until they disappear
I try to tell myself those words are for someone else
A delusion, I feel so clear
My heart corrodes itself
A vessel I can't compel
To break open when you pull me near

Deep End
Couldn't call back my desire
Climbed the seawall to discover
That my world is small
And your words are cruel
A tsunami in a tide pool
Would've lived for you
Would've died for you
With the tide out I will wait for
(Broken bottles that I covet)
I attach them to my body
A distraction in the current
If I take enough, they weigh me down
To loosen my grip on you
On an island with a clear view
Would've lived for you
Would've died for you
Would've lived for you
Would've died
Down in the deep end
I couldn't see straight
I shouldn't be here
Watching the world fade
Wind on the current
Carried the wrong way
Down in the deep end
Lost in my own waves
You're an island
With a clear view
I'm a tidal wave
Pull me back to you
I would die
I would die
Down in the deep end
I couldn't see straight
I shouldn't be here
Watching the world fade
Wind on the current
Carried the wrong way
Down in the deep end
Lost in my own waves
