Brother, can you hear me across this ocean of mine?
I've been swimming, I've been sinking through these tears I have cried
Some days it's tough to be alive, but I'll wait the moments just not right
Sister can you see me from that atop that mountain of your lies?
I've been sifting through the pieces of the love you left behind.
I know I should have called you on that night, regrets for the rest of my whole damn life

I Was an Ocean

So it begins, born from heartbreak
under this hazy purple sky that we once shared.
Another day, a fresh new torment
It's this lack of purpose that's eating away at the boy I used to know
But if we take it slow, soon I hope, it'll get easier
You said I was an ocean
but you sailed across
with all my commotion you got lost
you got lost
So you got away? Good for you.
but my life's just been so empty since you withdrew
It's funny how your love turned to hatred since you skewed
all the memories of the merriment. It's all been misconstrued, you know it's true.
You said I was an ocean
but you sailed across
with all my commotion you got lost
you got lost
Last night I dreamed I was holding you, you were holding me and I felt home at last.
But when I awoke there was no trace of you no trace of me.
I'm a hollow fragment of my past.
You said you wouldn't throw me away, instead
you stabbed me in the back.
I was forsaken, I was betrayed. My life seeped out through the cracks.
I was left for dead the day that you fled, I lost all sight of the tracks.
Float on by those faded signs, but I'm crawling.
The sun is rising over the highway lines, but I'm falling.
It's what you said, what about all those promises?
You lied to me.
You played for a fool, love

False Dichotomy
03:46

I keep myself company these past few weeks, and I'd agree it's better than nothing at all.
I see perfect harmony just beyond reach, I'm an escapee: I'm never getting involved.
Defy this false dichotomy were forced to keep, and I can see it's better for no one involved.
I see inconsistencies in my memories, and I believe I'm dying out here in the sprawl.
I can't scrape by going slow going slow. I've been dying inside questioning what I know.
Who else can decide where I'm going and where I've been, I just want to know where I can begin.

Eroded

I was 22 you were 19
the last time you said you'd stop loving me
Each word came through much maligned
Eroded my peace of mind
When You're lost in thought
and the music hasn't stopped
quite yet, not yet
Don't leave me tonight
You were 19 I was 22
the last time I believed in loving you
I thought that you would share my life
who would believe I could be so blind
Now I've lost the plot
the music must have stopped
I bet
I'm leaving tonight
I regret ever knowing you
I regret ever loving you
I regret ever knowing you
I regret ever loving you

Beneath The Waves

Lean in close and follow me beneath the waves.
Perplexed wrinkles in the sheets leave their peaks in your head.
Your body's here but you're miles away, a pretty face to meet the day.
Let it all fall out from your mind so you can't hide.
We have time to run, the sun is shining.
You're getting anxious, don't fall away.
The tone will change if you wait.
Your body's here but you're miles away, a pretty face to meet the day.
Let it all fall out from your mind so you can't hide.

Unrequited
06:02

Found myself in a golden haze
Never wasted so many days
but I wish they'd put that silver spoon back in my mouth
back when it could rain all day
I had sunshine when the sky was grey
but we were kids then look where we are now
all because good times weren't good enough
we wanted someone to love
before the jesters got on the stage
for an hour they prepared their play
but the wild beasts they fed could not be allowed
The king was so dismayed
he grabbed some coffee down at the cafe
but he started the party and I wish I was there now
all because good times weren't good enough
we wanted someone to love
Take all those twisted cells inside your brain
all the happiness you felt begins to wane
scrape the crusty bow along those metal strings
as the shell inside your veins starts to ring
This house ain't home no more
it eroded long ago
You were my best friend
you're my best friend, you were my
You made my life OK on a rainy
you made my
and I think I've had enough
of this unrequited love
