'Ion Storm' is song #3 on the Ocean Iris debut EP. 

Lyrics:
When the earth is dark
there's a light you hold within
there are sparks that you conceal
to shield your skin.

When I walk in your direction
and the sky breathes in,
in the darkness, I can hear
the rising wind...
of a storm

First the lightning touches ground
then the thunder
breaks the sound
Seeking shelter as you see
the nearing tidal wave of clouds
But there is friction in the air now,
and a storm is moving in
--as I'm watching for the signs
that you might be giving in
to the storm...
To the storm!

Charged ion particles are 
swimming to your shore.
Charged ion particles, they're
searching for something more
--but is there more?
Is there more, something more?

Will we stand upon the beach
and be washed into the sea?
As the tide that builds the
highest waves is rising,
threatening...
Will you gaze into the water
as it breaks over your soul?
Or will you crash into the atmosphere
with all the brightness that you hold?

While the charged ion particles are
swimming to your shore
Swift collisions in the air, as they are
searching for something more!
For the element combustion waiting
in the lightning of your eyes,
for the flash of revelation, for
the shifting of the tide:

The new sunrise!
The new sunrise, morning, 
rise up morning,
rise, morning rise...
Rise, morning rise, morning rise
to the day... oh, rise, morning rise
oh don't you ever go away

From the light I finally found here
in the storm we sheltered in,
from the ocean that's encircling, our
new days now begins

As our tide rolls in...
and light shines again, and again, and
again, and again, our tide rolls in...
Our tide rolls in, as the light
shines again, and again, and again

Our tide rolls in...
This light shines again.

Firelight is song #2 on Ocean Iris' debut EP. 

Lyrics:
You walked through the woods at night
til you came upon the fire's light...
Slowly approaching, 
I watch you closely,
kneel to stoke the embers of the fire.

By the warmth, we watch 
the orange flames
Cast a glow like smoldering waves...
The flickering light, 
crackling bright,
upon your silent face.

When the embers glisten underneath,
when your eyes shine,
reflecting the amber sea beneath,
and when the flames show
the dusky glow, that burns
within your being
You'll come to me,
you'll come to me.

From the depths of another 
moonless night,
felt it pull you from the darkness
to the light...
Fire shining, and oxidizing
where our eyes meet.

When the embers glisten underneath,
when the flames rise,
we recognize
the amber sea beneath...
And when it shines through the night,
you'll remember where I'll be--
You'll come to me,
you'll come to me.

(to me)

'Apparition' is song #1 on the Ocean Iris debut EP.

Lyrics:
Apparition, am I vanishing? 
I fear I am a living spectre 
walking in a dream... 
because the light surrounding me
separates into molecules that gleam,
and my cells are slowly dissolving 
into transparency... is this all a dream?

On a crowded sidewalk, 
I turn to speak
but my words rise, lighter than air
and disappear
before anyone can hear...
and no one sees me on the street,
they just keep shuffling,
with their eyes cast down to their feet.
But in the distance, did he notice me?

Well, look here comes an apparition
--another soulful vision-- No, 
he's just another man who looks
right through me!
He was an apparition,
and when his soul transitioned,
he's leaving...

Shadows enshroud the passersby
while inside I hold
a million tethered lights.
If one soul could only see me,
I would illuminate his being...

But all the people walking by
hide their eyes away, and
so they'll never see
the brightness in me...

I am wandering, harboring light
that shines, invisibly...

Is this all a dream? 
Or are my eyes opening?
