Across the ocean, under the sand    That got in your wounds    Across the ocean, under the land    That you now consume    There sleeps a demon    It wakes at night by the light of the moon       And it's watchin' while you sleep   While you sit and dream    At all the people laughing, pickin' up the shells    Too concerned with suntans, nobody can tell       They end up empty, wanting, wondering    Hollow like the shells    On seashores from sailors and tales they'll never    Tell to their maidens and babies    Tales that they'll never tell       Across the ocean, under the water    That got in your lungs    There sleeps a demon    It knows exactly what you will become       And it's watchin' while you sleep   While you sit and dream    At all the people laughing, pickin' up the shells    Too concerned with suntans, nobody can tell       They end up empty, wanting, wondering    Hollow like the shells    On seashores from sailors and tales they'll never    Tell to their maidens and babies    Tales that they'll never tell       While you're dreaming, past the sleep    Leave behind the things you keep   While you're dreaming, past the sleep    Leave behind the things you keep      They end up empty, wanting, wondering    Hollow like the shells    On seashores from sailors and tales they'll never    Tell to their maidens and babies    Tales that they'll never tell       They'll never tell to thier maidens and babies   Tales that they'll never tell   They end up empty, wanting, wondering    Hollow like the shells
