The Nine Year Tide

In a dream we had together
In a vessel of blinding light
I was bleeding from the mouth
You were dressed in someone else
I saw it coming
You were the tempest and I was the storm
You were the archetype of my disgust
Yours were the arms that kept me weighted down
In a vessel of blinding light
The lifeless stare you gave me was all we had left
A chemical releases
A scattered signal
And you confessed
In a vessel of blinding light
The lifeless stare you gave me was all we had left
You were the tempest and I was the storm
You were the archetype of my disgust
Yours were the arms that kept me weighted down
I'm bound to break your fall
To watch you heal
In the stillness before the rising tide
Raise your flag
And you take the guilt from those words you bled
Raise your flag to the sun
In your last attempt you failed us again
I'm bound to break your fall
To watch you heal
In the stillness before the rising tide
And I still have my hope to pretend
That I'm finally breathing
To leave well enough alone was too easy
It was too easy and it swallowed my heart
