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
