The Sea Around Us Lyrics by Erica Freas

Patient Ones

2016

[Verse 1]
For a long time we were coasting on fumes
It didn't matter, we were glued to the view
Out from the frontlines with nothing to lose
The world got longer, the world got longer
[Verse 2]
Read an author, she was born in the sky
Died not long after in the context of time
And in the middle she had a beautiful mind
And it spilled over, it spilled over
[Chorus]
Would you shine when you get up to fight?
Would you win faster by dimming your lights?
We'll all get smaller till we all disappear
If we hide how we're bright out of some distant fear
[Verse 3]
We're always sinking, separate, and sore
But deep sea mountains, how are they formed?
And do they too start to die from the moment they're born?
The world is changing, always has been
[Chorus]
Would you shine when you get up to fight?
Would you win faster by dimming your lights?
We'll all get smaller till we all disappear
If we hide how we're bright out of some distant fear
Yeah we'll hide how we're bright, but it'll just be from fear
From fear, from fear
[Outro]
We need you, beautiful brain
Your clever eyeball and your love for the rain
'Cause we've got a lifetime for pushing back against pain
If something's pretty, let it be pretty
