The Lighthouse

From a tender age, I was cursed with rage Came swinging like a fist inside a batting cage I went swimming 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 big Wanted reconciliation, but my tongue was in my teeth I couldn't find the floor, so I was kicking with my feet But there weren't there, they were stolen There is a lighthouse in the middle of the deep end And I'm still stranded on the shoreline there And nobody hears me scream And I will lure you like a landslide And I'll show you lovely things If you rescue me, but they're make-believe The lighthouse by the sea I met a sailor on the 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 There is a lighthouse in the middle of the deep end And I'm still stranded on the shoreline there And nobody hears me scream And I will lure you like a landslide And I'll show you lovely things If you rescue me, but they're make-believe The lighthouse by the sea 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 is in a little piece of me There is a lighthouse in the middle of the deep end And I'm still stranded on the shoreline there And nobody hears me scream And I will lure you like a landslide And I'll show you lovely things If you rescue me with that make-believe The lighthouse by the sea 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
