Confluence

A cool breeze comes off the ocean, my lips were chapped
And I knew the wave was coming, but I still hoped we wouldn't crash
Our sun sank behind the bay as we watched it go
Deep down, the truth remained
That it would never be like it always was before
And yet still I tried to keep our ghost afloat, with no hope

The sandcastle I built on stilts
Got washed away in the waters of my guilt
And I'm haunted by you, still
You're like sunburn in the rain, we're like shadows in the shade
Though I'm marooned inside your low tide, you look the same

You always found a way to paint me away
In all your darkest shades
And then wonder why I would never shine
When I was caught inside your gaze
Beat back against the current
Our winds had changed, you anchored me

The sandcastle I built on stilts
Got washed away in the waters of my guilt
And I'm haunted by you, still
You're like sunburn in the rain, we're like shadows in the shade
Though I'm marooned inside your low tide, you look the same

Coming out of shock, fading into numb
Waking up to see through you and everything you've done
You said that this hurts, standing there in my shirt
You think I would have learned by now
About you and how you use this curse

The sandcastle I built on stilts
Got washed away in the waters of my guilt
And I'm haunted by you, still
You're like sunburn in the rain, we're like shadows in the shade
Though I'm marooned inside your low tide, you look the same
