lyrics
The ocean is not your friend
you can never go home again
You might think you did nothing wrong
But you can’t hide nothing from the waves when they come down
Well are you a friend to me?
Or are you my enemy?
You can tell me in an epic poem
While the world falls away and dissolves to the unknown
The unknown
You don’t need a helping hand
I’ve seen your master plan
And I know your family tree
It’s beyond apologies
You’re living like a phantom limb
hope you can learn to swim
Without a paddle in the icy foam
While you watch your boat sink away to the unknown
Tell me can I be the one
To hand you all a loaded gun
And let you all just sort yourselves
While I sit in a hole in the ground to just calm down
Just come down
I could tell you all you want to hear
I could say you’ve been released
And you can live your life without the fear
And you won’t change in the least
You might stand behind your garden walls
Under a canopy of stars
And feel the breeze upon your skin
And just think how small you are
But when the smoke blots out the sun
And there’s nothing you can do
I can’t think that I’m the only one
Who will turn and look at you
you can never go home again
You might think you did nothing wrong
But you can’t hide nothing from the waves when they come down
Well are you a friend to me?
Or are you my enemy?
You can tell me in an epic poem
While the world falls away and dissolves to the unknown
The unknown
You don’t need a helping hand
I’ve seen your master plan
And I know your family tree
It’s beyond apologies
You’re living like a phantom limb
hope you can learn to swim
Without a paddle in the icy foam
While you watch your boat sink away to the unknown
Tell me can I be the one
To hand you all a loaded gun
And let you all just sort yourselves
While I sit in a hole in the ground to just calm down
Just come down
I could tell you all you want to hear
I could say you’ve been released
And you can live your life without the fear
And you won’t change in the least
You might stand behind your garden walls
Under a canopy of stars
And feel the breeze upon your skin
And just think how small you are
But when the smoke blots out the sun
And there’s nothing you can do
I can’t think that I’m the only one
Who will turn and look at you

With Darkness In My Eyes
by The Heavy HorsesYeah I made the album art, but also it is very very well done album, production is pure opulence. Justin Mahoney is a true gent.
