I want to live by the sea
Live by the ocean
I did my best to fit in
But I outsayed my welcom
I change my name and my friends
Run till the land ends
But I'm always waiting for me
No matter how hard I pretend
Somewhere I can be free
So big it's swallowing me
Along with everything I used to be
Dive I before I explode
Where armies are swallowed
So many monsters in you
So many monsters in you
So many monsters in you
So many
For once in your lifetime will you
Do what you want not what you have to
I want to live by the sea
Want to live by the ocean
Though I start over again
I'll never change where I come from
Loss of my momentum
Set me in motion
My heart and soul were for free
But nobody would take them
For once in your lifetime will you
Do what you want not what you have to
Follow me only if you want to
But do what you want not what you have to
Tear it down and start over again
