lyrics

Black sails grace the horizon
And I watch from the beach
As you suffer, as you struggle
So far out of reach

As the clouds sink into me
My mouth fills with decay
The burden of guilt builds
With every passing day

Will the colours succumb
To the embrace of the grey?
Even if it destroys me
I won’t let them pass away

I fought for you for years
And you never let me win
I drained your soul of sorrow
I absolved all your sins

I fought a thousand battles
I will fight thousands more
Put your goddamn pistol down,
Pick yourself up off the floor

Kept afloat by your heart
As you wash into the storm
My arms are the ropes
That keep you bound to the shore

Keep the fires of hope
Aflame in your eyes
We’ll light the catacombs
Buried deep in your mind

Think you’re alive? Show me
Think you’re alive? Let me know
Think you’re alive? Show me
You won’t dangle from this rope

Think you’re alive? Show me
Think you’re alive? Let me know
Think you’re alive? Show me
I will never let you choke

All the grief, all the pain
Insects writhing in my brain
Fear takes hold, fade to black
All the words we can’t take back

And through it all
All the pages we burned
Through it all
There is no lesson left to be learned

We dared to cross the oceans
Choked with the poison of the past
We stole our smiles from the darkness
While the world looked on aghast

In the swirling night winds
Painted blue across the sky
We found the joy inside us
Beneath the corpses of our lies

Broken sails still catch the breeze
The ship still sails on the stormy seas
With no room left for banality
We found our lost tranquillity
