To Straighth you will sail.
From your home you will sail.
Into the wind you will sail.
Far away you will sail.
As you tack across the bay,
watch your home fade away.
For days you will sail.
Through nights you will sail.
To the edge you will sail.
Be afraid and you will fail.
Then you will come upon a land,
with waters calm and sunny sands.
Open arms await you here.
The cold you'll never fear.
As your memory fades away,
and the star dust comes to say;
Through the wind you will feel,
once upon a time we were real.
The spark that caused you,
whispers, "I'll see you through."
To Straighth you will sail.
From your home you will sail.
Into the wind you will sail.
Far away you will sail.

Call Until You Leap
02:53

The drowned will all confess,
the pleasure's worth the fall.
From a failing stride a sailor can hide,
if they answer the sirens call.
A sensation in the port.
A living land at last.
No finer bones and eyes of steal,
but life's made out of glass.
Swim beneath life's hull.
Pleasure as the oceans pull.
Love's alarm lights their charms
but hearts are never full.
The sirens one by one
call until you leap.
Then alll your fears and salty tears
are swallowed by the deep.
Nothing sounds as near
as the last sound you'll ever hear.
Leave it all behind and your soul will find,
a fate that's deep and clear.

Shame & Pride

I saw shame and pride battling behind your eyes,
when you turned me away from your door.
I smiled across the line - a line I didn't realize.
I won't bother you anymore.
You're forever on your way, in glorious decay.
It's got me speaking out of turn.
Cover your words with mine,
we say the same thing every time.
As smart as we are we never learn.
The things that are in between what we say and what we mean,
haunt me like the beating in my chest.
Learn to love the back and forth,
purging life's retort.
I want you to put my patience to the test.
