lyrics
My beautiful bride
there's only lightning in your skull
And your eyes are open wide
While the ocean made me dull
Almost everything about you
Is a balm against my pain
While we’re stuck here without shelter
From the sun or from the rain
Clung together like two snakes in the grass
While the salt air hurts my lungs
The raft waits here to be broken
While I taste you on my tongue
Two weeks to find ourselves alive
The ocean doesn’t care
Your hand it grazed along my spine
And through my sun bleached hair
the seagulls gather around the sky
And squawk and bray til dawn
And glowing fish invade the night
But don’t stay very long
I cannot find the words this time
That drive away despair
But only complicated rhymes
That desecrate the air
But somehow through some magic crime
My words mix with your voice
And the harmony you make with mine
Cause angels to rejoice
And while the seafoam scrapes the tide
My head falls to your chest
And while your bones mix here with mine
The ocean does the rest
And through the years we’ve spread around
To shorelines far and wide
And like that ocean we have found
Our love so unified
there's only lightning in your skull
And your eyes are open wide
While the ocean made me dull
Almost everything about you
Is a balm against my pain
While we’re stuck here without shelter
From the sun or from the rain
Clung together like two snakes in the grass
While the salt air hurts my lungs
The raft waits here to be broken
While I taste you on my tongue
Two weeks to find ourselves alive
The ocean doesn’t care
Your hand it grazed along my spine
And through my sun bleached hair
the seagulls gather around the sky
And squawk and bray til dawn
And glowing fish invade the night
But don’t stay very long
I cannot find the words this time
That drive away despair
But only complicated rhymes
That desecrate the air
But somehow through some magic crime
My words mix with your voice
And the harmony you make with mine
Cause angels to rejoice
And while the seafoam scrapes the tide
My head falls to your chest
And while your bones mix here with mine
The ocean does the rest
And through the years we’ve spread around
To shorelines far and wide
And like that ocean we have found
Our love so unified

-
Jake has made the most essential album to come out of St. John's, so essential it's two albums.
go to album -
With Darkness In My Eyes
by The Heavy HorsesYeah I made the album art, but also it is very very well done album, production is pure opulence. Justin Mahoney is a true gent.
