Once Lyrics

Open my back

Fall into ocean

Down and down and down

Until I drink in the potion

Follow the flowers

Leads me to ice

Carved into a hand

Hold me like a vice, singin'

I once was a girl

Always in the in between

Pulling time out of a dream

I once was a man

Dandelions in my mouth

Eating berries from her hand

Mind over matter

Mind doesn't matter

I tear it all to pieces

Yeah I've never been madder

I'm back in her house

She's nowhere to be found

Ashes to ashes

We all fall down, down, down

I once was a girl

Always in the in between

Pulling time out of a dream

I once was a man

Dandelions in my mouth

Eating berries from her hand

I'm afraid of dying

But death is all around me

I'm afraid of living

With the evil that surrounds me

I'm afraid of dying

But death is all around me

I'm afraid of living

With the evil that surrounds me

I once was a girl

Always in the in between

Pulling time out of a dream

I once was a man

Dandelions in my mouth

Eating berries from her hand

I'm afraid of dying

But death is all around me

I'm afraid of living

With the evil that surrounds me

I'm afraid of dying

But death is all around me

I'm afraid of living

With the evil that surrounds me

But I've been dead before

To touch your heart is magical

In the waves I'm vulnerable

And the sea can see what I'm for
