She Swan Higher

There are monsters living underneath the sea
Sunken shipwrecks so so big we can't believe
No protection from our Mothers arms
They pull us under, sirens charm our trusting hearts we follow blindly

In that labyrinth where the devil grieves
Her skin was stained her innocence thieved
Her coral crown fell down she drowned so soon
He dug her grave a liquid tomb
Before he lay her body under moonlight

She swam higher
In the night through seas on fire
Though her blood was in the water
On ocean floors
She was somebody's daughter
The dark blue purified her
Out from underneath
Cut her ankles from the reeds
Soon she would breathe
Though midnight tides defy her, they don't define her
She swam higher
To the surface to the light oh
Where the screaming ain't so soft
Here on ocean floors
She was somebody's daughter
The dark blue purified her
Out from underneath
Cut her ankles from the reeds
Soon she would breathe
Though midnight tides defy her, they don't define her
She swam higher

He dragged down with dirty hands
Tried to sink her back to where it all began
Oh the people on the beeches shut their ears
They didn't wanna face their deepest fears
Did it even happen if no one hears?

Somehow she felt so sorry for the demon
(She kissed his face while he was sleeping)
A guilty love she needed healing
(He'd never know her freedom)
No detection from her Mothers eyes
Devoted waves were on his side
They crushed her soul they called her a liar

So she swam higher
In the night through seas on fire
Though her blood was in the water
On ocean floors
She was somebody's daughter
The dark blue purified her
Out from underneath
Cut her ankles from the reeds
Soon she would breathe
Though midnight tides defy her, they don't define her
She swam higher
To the surface to the light oh
Where the screaming ain't so soft
Here on ocean floors
She was somebody's daughter
The dark blue purified her
Out from underneath
Cut her ankles from the reeds
Soon she would breathe
Though midnight tides defy her, they don't define her
She swam higher
And over the underneath her
The closure the truth that freed her
Oxygen inside her lungs stronger legs so she could run on water to the light where he can't find her

She swam higher
In the night through seas on fire
Though her blood was in the water
On ocean floors
She was somebody's daughter
The dark blue purified her
Out from underneath
Cut her ankles from the reeds
Soon she would breathe
Though midnight tides defy her, they don't define her
She swam higher
To the surface to the light oh
Where the screaming ain't so soft
Here on ocean floors
She was somebody's daughter
The dark blue purified her
Out from underneath
Cut her ankles from the reeds
Soon she would breathe
Though midnight tides defy her, they don't define her
She swam higher
