A Few Home Truths
04:27

Every time I leave this place I miss these perfect skies,
These perfect seas that still leave me breathless.
Where I come from is now just a memory
A picture of the past with nothing to fulfil me.
I carry on alone,
With nothing to remind me of what was once home.
Ran aground.
On a sun-scorched coastline.
And everything that went before
Never crossed my mind.
Fell from a starlit sky
Liberated from days gone by.
Saved,
Swept ashore by tranquil waves.
Fell from a perfect sky.
Black clouds break overhead
Leaving blue skies in their stead.
Fell from a perfect sky
Over moonlit shores I fly.

Abandon Ship

Scarlet skies burst forth
From a jet-black skyline.
When it seems like yesterday
I looked up to a million stars.
We've taken something beautiful
And fed it to the sharks.
Waves have spilled over the bow
Of this sinking ship for far too long.
Push me out to sea
And forget this face,
Let me go
Disappear without a trace.
Send me away
And cover my tracks
Send me
To the bottom of the ocean and back.

Revive

This is a lesson
That had to be learned.
For once in my life
I've had to look at the bigger picture,
But this whole scenario
Tore my heart in two.
Recovery took so fucking long,
But I've found my way back,
I found my way home.
At the time my world collapsed
But I've said goodnight to heartache,
Found myself back at the start
With my heart held high above me.
At last I've been washed ashore,
Finally I'm complete again.
Recovery
Took so fucking long.

We Lost You to the Ocean
04:05

These waves have consumed your life
And all I hope is that you'll live on through me.
And so I've wondered all my life
What it would be like just to shake your hand,
To find a reason for this weight
It resides amongst the ocean.
You were so loved
But we lost you to the sea.
We lost you to the ocean.
These waves have consumed your life
We'll carry you.
We lost you doing what you loved
We'll carry you.
We'll carry you forever on our shoulders
I'll carry you forever.

With Regret
03:38
|

If I'd known that day would be
The last time I'd see you alive,
I'd have made it last forever.
I know you were trying to protect me
But I still feel guilty for never saying goodbye.
Your descent was a cruel one.
I miss those hours we spent together
Upon the river we lost ourselves.
And I hope I filled the hole in your heart
Left by a departed son.
Rest now
You helped make me what I am today
I just wish I'd known
I just wish I'd said goodbye.

I pray for clean air
To grace these blackened lungs.
I pray for the light
To save us from these darkest nights.
I pray that we'll see blue skies again.
That I will see the sunlight eclipse the rain.
