Salvation

Swimming in love and bliss
Call it God, call it Hatteras
I was baptized on this island

For fifteen years these waves were missed
My body aching for an Atlantic kiss
The rituals of salvation

How could something so lovely
Become so vicious and violent
Cause one moment I was at peace
The next I was dying

For the love of Christ Jesus
Would someone save me
Someone save me please
I swore an oath to the sea
Now it’s dragging me deep
And its going to swallow me

Rendezvous, evening 7:22
With a mountain lion
The most holy thing I’ve ever seen

Her eyes pierced through mine and I knew
It was this mountain I would die on
In this meadow of sweet mystery

Stunned and awe-struck at the scene
By the lion, the sunset, and the stream
It all brought me to my knees but she was hunting me
Coming to eat me in the meadow that night

For the love of Christ Jesus
Would someone save me
Someone save me please
I swore an oath to the sea
Now it’s dragging me deep
And its going to swallow me

Save me from drowning in this nightmare, Lord
I gave my body, heart, and soul to hers
But she turned our love story into a war
Went from being the love of my life to a criminal warlord

Save me from drowning in this nightmare, Lord
Give me a sandbar, give me wings, bring back the dinosaurs
I’m turning into a near-death experience connoisseur
I could write books for years, until no one believed me anymore

I gave my body, heart, and soul to hers
But she turned our love story into war
Went from being the love my life to a criminal warlord

Save me from drowning in this nightmare, Lord
Give me a sandbar, give me wings, bring back the dinosaurs
Experience connoisseur
