1.
Waiting for sight of a ship on the horizon Distractions from this day mundane To see them navigate the islands Watch them on their lonely way Chorus We sit here forever We stare at the sea This is our time This is how we'll always be Talk of the wreck as always Remembering the noble drowned A lighthouse too far to guide them And rocks too close to spare their bones Sinews twisted And hope resisted Never seized the day The depths received them When none could free them Gathered to their grave
2.
I look at them They look into me Attachment so strong My possessions own me Chorus Life is a bridge Cross over it Life is a bridge Build no houses on it I covet for its own sake I crown 'desire' king My soul could be so pure Instead my greed is everything Amounting wealth Through daily daggers To have, to hold, to dream Amounting wealth Through daily daggers A lust for shiny things it seems
3.
No it won't be easy Living forever Everyone you know will die Or their faces turn like leather Chorus A better man, a better man, a better man Might roll back his eyes A better man, a better man, a better man Might roll back his eyes And die within, and die within, and die Die within his shell And die within, and die within, and die Die within his shell You'll become tedious Your stories too well known Their ignorance your torture Your heart will weigh like stone I transcended your morality As my pain went unheard The world gets the version Of me it deserves You'll flood their cities And scorch their lands You'll demand their faith When their fate rests in your hands A better man, a better man, a better man (repeat) Might hide his hell so others might be well
4.
Rain is dripping from the light I'm asleep, I'm alright I'm writing down my thoughts In splendid dereliction Chorus Falling fuzzy through night All confused and yielding to regret They of the dream leave you to fend For your meaning, your death until the dream's end The vision once solid and wise Cannot pass with you to morning In mourning now, all vagueness and blur Wispy hollow remnants of perfect words Your forgotten words On the tip of your brain Hint at, allude to Epiphany
5.
The Burden 04:46
You are not the vessel of all acceptance On the horizon of best intentions Harvesting my guilt to soothe your pain Lashing out to keep you sane. Chorus Nothing but obligation We are bonded by blood There is no love between us Resentment makes its home We grow old as strangers now Once you knew my deepest thoughts If I could find a way, this tie to sever Forever I'd embrace the freedom sought From your view point You see the truth sharp and clear I've grown to see a world through The lens of distrust and fear
6.
The Circle 04:13
The sorrow of a life less ordinary To lose hope is a dangerous thing In a world determined to crush you How can you rest, how can you breath Chorus Just give me a sign you know me A tell that shows you know who I am Show me their lies have fallen around you Let the circle smile on our plan Kindness a luxury I can't afford I occupy a world much different from yours Anoint their food, anoint the plebeian Their loins can never bare gifts again Your thoughts are crass and lucid You shame the many other spheres You build your nation blindly Moulded from all garish fears
