[Verse 1]
From a tender age I was cursed with rage
Came swinging like a fist inside a batting 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
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 crashing down
He’s laying 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 saving, 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
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 wandering the beach
And I’m glad I met the Devil ’cause he showed me I was weak
And a little piece of him isn’t a little piece of me
[Chorus]
There is a lighthouse in the middle of the deep
And I’m still stranded on the shoreline
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 (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)
