Locks and Oceans
[Intro]
There is a dangerous kind of strength in loving someone.
A quiet sort of armor you put on,when you decide you will be the anchor...and the shield.
She stands on the shore of a vast and turbulent sea.
On the surface, she is a sovereign queen—calm, unshakeable, holding the water back.
But deep down,
in the dark where the pressure builds,
she is drowning in the things she cannot say.
He is standing right beside her,
feeling the warmth of a love that is entirely genuine,
yet shivering from the frost of an invisible wall.
He can see the locked chest she protects so fiercely.
He doesn't know what’s inside.
He only knows she holds the key...and she is terrified to turn it.
But a storm is coming now.
Not to destroy them...but to break the armor.
Listen closely,
This is the sound of the wall,
coming down. (Down) (Down) coming down.
[Verse 1]
It started like magic, a spark in the dark (The Magician)
A fairytale promise that ignited the heart She courted him softly with a cup in her hand (Knight of Cups)
Like a beautiful memory from a distant land (Six of Cups)
They built up the pieces with a slow, steady grace (Page of Pentacles)
Two hands in the dirt, building their own place (Three of Pentacles)
He thought that the universe had spun its great wheel (Wheel of Fortune)
To give him a love that was holy and real.
[Chorus]
But she sits like a queen on an ocean so deep (King of Cups)
Guarding the secrets that she swears she must keep He’s giving his all but he’s drowning in doubt (Six of Pentacles Reversed)
Wondering what she is keeping him out of Oh, the love is all genuine, the love is all true But the walls are too high for the light to get through.
[Verse 2]
The man can feel it, the shift in the air The woman is right there, but she’s not really there She’s holding on tight to the things she won't say (Four of Pentacles)
Locking her chest up and turning away A storm cloud is gathering, heavy and low The sharpest of truths that they both have to know (Three of Swords)
The armor is cracking, the silence will break For the sake of the life that they're trying to make.
[Bridge]
It’s not a betrayal, it’s an old phantom pain A ghost from her past that is crying in the rain She’s terrified showing her cracks and her scars Will chase him away and destroy who they are But he reaches out, and he takes both her hands He doesn't walk out, no, he just understands.
[Chorus]
Cause she sits like a queen on an ocean so deep (King of Cups)
Letting go of the secrets that she used to keep He’s giving his all and they’re balancing out Washing away every shadow of doubt Yes, the love is all genuine, the love is all true And the walls have come down for the light to get through.
[Outro]
No more fairytales, just the beautiful real Two broken people learning how to heal. The magician, the queen, and the cards on the floor...They don't have to hide anymore.
