lyrics

I was a moth eating through fabrics
crawling through attics, drifting through traffic
I was a squid swimming through darkness
Rubber and heartless, shallow and harmless
But what were you before

But what were you before
the tidal waves came
And washed down our houses?

I was a mailbox, Swallowing postcards
Sending my regards, To Hollywood stars
I was a phone call, Always on standby
No one would reply, Just sever the phone lines

But what were you before
the tidal waves came
And washed down our houses?
