Lyrics

A sailor without a mast
Harbinger of needless flight
Out the door just as you came in
Cursed to forever feel the wreck of waves
Cursed to forever hear the dirge of the deep
Cursed to never taste its salt
Cursed to never feel its embrace
Permanence is an illusion
Fueled by the flames of dispersal
The cost to bear for a new haunt
Clinging to pieces of the past
 
A broken mirror that shatters into a million parts
The final heartbreak and our memories embalmed
Ashes to ashes, eternal reprieve
Dust to dust, the final piety
 
We live under trees with shallow roots
In rooms of borrowed light
Who will come save you
Under plumes and the red blood sky?
Remorse weighs heavy
A heaven of hubris on shoulders of glass
The waves thrash louder
Bury it, grieve
Live with one foot in a different home
Bury it, forge ahead
Watch it emerge and swallow you whole.
