"Watermark" Lyrics

You were carved out of the sea
Watermarked by your ancestry
In a tug of war between the tide and me

What felt like loss was a victory
Cause you were swept ashore
like bottles holding prayers

You were carved out of the earth
Safe and sound in your second birth
Gravity has tied your ankle to the shore
As a lighthouse tamed
the endless ocean war

Against the calming light
our silhouettes are changing shape
The stories you've been told
have made you brave

Such inheritance was formed
within the sand
Like the shells you gather
in the safety of your hands

Dive in with your eyes closed
For the life you were born to claim
And the water will be paralyzed
By the courage you contain

And the flutter of your earnest heart
It will fill the silent seas
And all will be restored
in your memory
