Lyrics

The Lighthouse

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

From a tender age, I was cursed with rage

I came swinging like a fist inside a batting cage

I went swimming 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 tongue was in my teeth

And I couldn’t find the floor, so I was kickin with my feet

But they weren’t there

They were stolen

There is a lighthouse in the

Middle of the deep

And I'm still stranded on the shore line

And nobody hears me scream

I’ll lure you like a landslide

And I’ll show you lovely things

If you rescue me, but they’ll make believe

The lighthouse by the sea

I met a sailor on a ship with promise in his eyes

And 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

Till 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

There is a lighthouse in the

Middle of the deep

And I'm still stranded on the shore line

And nobody hears me scream

And I’ll lure you like a landslide

And I’ll show you lovely things

If you rescue me, but they’ll make believe

The lighthouse by the sea

Well that should teach

A man to mess with me

'Cause 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 is in

A little piece of me

There is a lighthouse in the

Middle of the deep

And I'm still stranded on the shore line

And nobody hears me scream

I’ll lure you like a landslide

And I’ll show you lovely things

If you rescue me, but they’ll make believe

The lighthouse by the sea

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)
