@TENN:**WHEN THE OCEAN LEARNED MY NAME** *Genre:* Atmospheric Alternative Metal × Progressive Metal × Dark Pop --- *[Verse 1]* I left my shadow by your door, Thought maybe you'd let it breathe. But every promise floating back Was tangled underneath. You kissed the storm inside my lungs, Like drowning was a prayer. Now every wave returns your voice... But you're never there. --- *[Pre-Chorus]* If love was holy... Why did it hurt? If I was chosen... Why was I cursed? --- *[Chorus]* I LET THE OCEAN LEARN MY NAME. SO EVERY WAVE COULD CARRY MY PAIN. I BUILT A TEMPLE OUT OF YOUR GHOST. AND WORSHIPPED WHAT HURT ME MOST. --- *[Verse 2]* You moved like moonlight through the tide, Beautiful... But never mine. I reached for heaven in your hands, Found another reason To break. Every silence sounded sacred. Every goodbye felt like grace. I kept believing... You'd come back with the sunrise. --- *[Bridge]* Tell me... Did you ever love me? Or was I only... A place... To leave your darkness? --- *[Breakdown]* Every prayer... Returns unanswered. Every heartbeat... Falls beneath the water. If this is mercy... Let me drown. If this is love... Don't pull me out. --- *[Final Chorus]* I LET THE OCEAN KEEP MY NAME. LET THE TIDE ERASE MY SHAME. I DON'T NEED ANOTHER HALO. I ONLY NEED... TO LET... YOU... GO. --- *[Outro]* The sea grows quiet. The moon disappears. For the first time... I can hear... My own heartbeat.
