Lights At Bay

I hear your voice on the current

Seeping through the cracks in the hull

Can't find a port in this storm

But I'm sheltered and warm

Squinting in the glow

Is it a beacon of hope

Or trust a flame I really don't know

But against this tower of light

I can make out a vessel

On it's way

To you

I wonder what my dad really thinks

When I air our business out in a blink

I ain't thought about it twice

Let alone worry 'bout the cosequence

Shoot first

Think second

Always been my way to tackle this 'cause

Truth hurts

It's stressing

Always knew what I would think of it

But it's not even about that anymore

I just don't want it to be like it was before

So I'm trying real hard not to point fingers

Hoping I can leave the drugs by the door

And never ever mention them again

Even though I know you're still using

You rather see your soon blind

Let's try the sure way fine

I hear your voice on the current

Seeping through the cracks in the hull

Can't find a port in this storm

But I'm sheltered and warm

Squinting in the glow

Is it a beacon of hope

Or trust a flame I really don't know

But against this tower of light

I can make out a vessel

On it's way

To you

I don't think I have your number

We barely even speak when we see each other

I think we both on a guilt trip

At least I know that I am, my cover

Has always been to keep it at a distance

So far away as possible

But if it makes any difference

I hope we can jump this obstacle

That has been our lives

All the ups and downs and ins and outs

Remember when you sent me all those letters

I'm thinking I should read some now

To better understand what you felt locked up in a four by four of a cell

With two kids on the outside

Me, I would have gone out my mind

I hear your voice on the current

Seeping through the cracks in the hull

Can't find a port in this storm

But I'm sheltered and warm

Squinting in the glow

Is it a beacon of hope

Or trust a flame I really don't know

But against this tower of light

I can make out a vessel

On it's way

To you

Maybe this is overdue

Or is it better not to

'Cause I don't need to get reminded

I just want to put it behind me

And think about what I miss

And right now that's a mist

So I couldn't really tell you

If you would ever ask me it

But you would never ask me shit

You would never ask me shit

You would never ask
