Erica Mulkey - The Treacherous Sea lyrics

I can wash you off of me But I still smell of the treacherous sea Which threatens to transform me Into a creature I don't want to be All wetness and slime the color of a bruise All darkness and regret the things that sailors lose The only one of my kind alone on this island My only contacts the desperate and violent I still have this If I can speak someone will listen If I don't lose my voice I will find power again I can cut you out from inside But I could never regain my pride It was sunk in a deep dark cavern Only ancient reptiles can find I don't recognize myself in the mirror But I am not lost I am getting clearer I ask powers beyond me and all that they say is You have control Use it Keep it I still have this If I can speak someone will listen If I don't lose my voice I will find power again
