The Lighthouse lyrics

[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 down

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)
