out of the sky, into the sea (lilas version)

from the lilas (EP) by Lauren Hoffman

lyrics

don't want to go where they are cruel and cold
turning me into stone, making me dry
give me this warmth a sunbeam to live in,
a window to look out of

misery blooms on the stem of suppression,
the world that you see is the one you believe
sleeping in poppies, lost in the forest

out of the sky, into the sea
disappear, under here, pulled by the tide
give me an island
i am an island

don't want to go where they pull out the mold
casting me out of clay, making me dry
give me this warmth, a sunbeam to live in
a window to look out of

shut out the sights, and pull tight the sheets
they live in the dark and their faces you see
by the sliver of light, through a cracked-open door

castles and kings await you my sweet
dragons will fly you far, far from here
where the concrete enfolds you
and they mold you of steel

out of the sky, into the sea
disappear, under here, pulled by the tide
give me an island
i am an island

Lauren Hoffman Los Angeles, California
