the dead century - seagulls lyrics

[verse 1]
a girl in a sundress sits down by the ocean
curled up on a rock with her arms round her knees
she watches the seagulls spin into the sunset
and thinks to herself, “god why can’t that be me?”

[verse 2]
it’s been over three months since she last said i love you
been nearly a year since those feelings all died
and she wonders, was this a result of her waiting
watch as the sunset sinks into the tide

[chorus 1]
choked in the soul by a cold anesthetic
of patience and vague expectations of joy
and frantically searching, seeking salvation
looking for a home in the eyes of a boy

[verse 3]
well the ring on her finger feels colder than ever
cold as the ocean, the water at night
and it bears all the power, the weight of her conscience
those memories and thoughts that she’s too weak to fight

[verse 4]
oh and twenty+five years is supposed to feel different
she knows that this can’t be what love’s all about
but she’s trapped between hiding the guilt of deception
and the pain in his eyes if he ever found out
[chorus 2]
and is this salvation? and where went forgiveness?
was virtue destroyed in the things that she did?
buried in action, the burden of freedom
the storm in her heart she’d so cleverly hid

[chorus 3]
well she told him forever, but now she’s not certain
bound by demands of a blind guarantee
now she’s stuck searching, and seeking salvation
lost on an endless and darkening sea

[verse 5]
oh a girl in a sundress sits down by the ocean
curled up on a rock with her arms round her knees
she watches the seagulls spin into the sunset
and thinks to herself, “god why can’t that be me?”
