Released via Complex, “Ocean” is the 3rd single from her debut EP Lungs. Devon stated to Complex:
‘Ocean is the first song I finished for this project, I wrote and recorded it after my lung collapsed three times’

[Verse 1]
I was chained to the bottom
Dreaming of the horizon
Barely bruised on the surface
Just a scream in the ocean
And when I felt it the most
Its cause you said it was so
Holding back while we both implode
And when the guns are all fired
All that remains is desire
No turning back once the lies unfold
[Chorus]
Cause I have been through the ocean
I have felt the rage running deep
But I'm lost in a true devotion
To the things you do to me
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
[Verse 2]
Beneath the weight on my shoulders
Every vein running colder
In this love we keep falling
Never lost, never closer
How soon we seem to forget
Everything that we regret
Throw our arms to defend the change
But bittersweet tragedy disguised in love's gravity
Its just the insanity I crave
[Chorus]
Cause I have been through the ocean
I have felt the rage running deep
But I'm lost in a true devotion
To the things you do to me
(Cause I have been through the ocean)
[Bridge]
I know that sometimes the darkness
Makes you grow restless
But this is nothing new
Your tide can be so relentless
It leaves me defenseless
It brings me back to you
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
