The Lighthouse

From a tender age, I was cursed with rage Came swingin' like a fist inside a battin' cage I went swimmin' with the Devil at the bottom of a lake And he left me there by my lonesome He was tall and mean with venom eyes so green Wanted reconciliation, but my toe was in my keep I couldn't find the floor, so I was kickin' with my feet But they weren't there, they were stolen [Chorus] There is a lighthouse In thе middle of the deep And I'm still stranded on thе shoreline there And nobody hears me scream And I'll allure you like a landslide And I'll show you lovely things If you rescue me with that make-believe The lighthouse by the sea [Verse 2] I met a sailor on a ship with promise in his eyes He kissed me on the mouth and dug his fingers in my thighs But a sailor ain't a savior 'cause they only tell you lies So I left him there 'til the sunrise Well, the waves were tall and they were crashin' down He's layin' in the water, begging God to let him drown So I showed him all my teeth and then I laughed out loud 'Cause I never wanted savin', I just wanted to be found [Chorus] There is a lighthouse In the middle of the deep And I'm still stranded on the shoreline there And nobody hears me scream And I'll allure you like a landslide And I'll show you lovely things If you rescue me with that make-believe The lighthouse by the sea [Bridge] Well, that should teach a man to mess with me He was never seen again and I'm still wanderin' the beach And I'm glad I met the Devil 'cause he showed me I was weak And a little piece of him is in a little piece of me [Chorus] There is a lighthouse In the middle of the deep And I'm still stranded on the shoreline there And nobody hears me scream And I'll allure you like a landslide And I'll show you lovely things If you rescue me with that make-believe The lighthouse by the sea [Outro] And the waves come crashing down And the waves come crashing down And the waves come crashing down (And the waves come crashing down) And the waves come crashing down (And the waves come crashing down) And the waves come crashing down (And the waves come crashing down) And the waves come crashing down (And the waves come crashing down) And the waves come crashing down (And the waves come crashing down) And the waves come crashing down
