A C#m D F#m
the atlantic was born today and i'll tell you how:
A C#m D F#m
the clouds above opened up and let it out.
A C#m
i was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere
D F#m
when the water filled every hole.
A C#m
and thousands upon thousands made an ocean,
D F#m
making islands where no island should go.
oh no.

A C#m
the rhythm of my footsteps crossing flood lands to your door have been
D F#m
silenced forever more.
A C#m

it seems farther than ever before
oh no.
