Lyrics
I don't hear waves against the shore
No sails against the wind
But something moves beneath my skin
Where all of it begins
I walk the land, I speak their names
I sleep inside these walls
Yet every silence that I keep
Still sounds like distant calls
I thought the sea was left behind
The moment I came home
But oceans don't forget the ones
Who learned to live alone
The sea still lives inside my chest
It rises when I rest
It pulls me under memory
When I lay down my head
I crossed it once to save my life
To make it through the storm
But now the sea inhabits me
Long after it is gone
I hear their laughter in the dark
Their voices on the tide
The ones who vanished into foam
And never said goodbye
No compass left to read the past
No stars to guide my hand
The sea became a language
Only I still understand
I gave the water everything
My fear, my will, my breath
It taught me how to disappear
And how to live with death
The sea still lives inside my chest
It never learned to sleep
It moves through days of solid ground
And memories I keep
I don't need waves to feel its pull
Or storms to feel its claim
The sea that tried to break my bones
Now carries all my names
I thought that land would make me whole
That stillness meant release
But water shaped my way of being
It taught my heart its peace
You don't escape what forms your soul
You learn to let it stay
The sea no longer owns my life
But shaped the man I am today
The sea remains
I carry it gently now
