lyrics

I hid under a reef
All my skeletons were sheltering me
But I knew I couldn't breathe
So, I swam back up to the top of the sea

The tidal waves hit me so hard
But it's better than being stuck in the dark

Hope is raining down
So why do we feel alone?
It's the result of the walls
From the masks that we call home

Some guppies came to play
There were a million, but one seemed so unique
So I asked if he would stay
He taught me that the world would see change

I learned to dance with the wales and the sharks
The complex seaway become water art

Hope is raining down
So why do we feel alone?
The foundation cracks
When we try to build a throne
We can make it if our chances aren't blown
As a result of the walls
From the masks that we call home

Hope is raining down
So why do we feel alone?
It's the result of the walls
From the masks that we call home

Hope is raining down
So why do we feel alone?
It's the result of the walls
From the masks that we call home
