Albatross

Broken apart
Shattered and remade
Cast in the dark
Bold and afraid

Eyes on the wall
Staring through the signs
Tell me that everything will be fine

And I will live forever
And leave reality behind

I'll follow the waves
And crash where they may
And someday I'll find my way back home
An end ever nears
As days turn to years
I just have to do this alone

Write down a life
In tears made of gold
Carve out a path
To lay down a road

Eyes on the walls
Watching as we die
To harm and to hold
This fatal design

And we will live forever
Don't ask me how
Just let me waste away

I'll follow the waves
And crash where they may
And someday I'll find my way back home
An end ever nears
As days turn to years
I just have to do this on my own

I hear the song of sirens
But I'm already drowning in this God forsaken noise

So let me
Be willfully deceived
And leave me to my failure
Let me (I have to be better than this)
Sleep soundly in a dream (if I suffer the cadence of struggle)
Delusion is my savior (I know)

To fall is to rise
In strife I ascend
In failure we lie
The shattered will mend
'Til death do your part
Then drown with your bones
Silent and unknown

Broken apart
Thrown into the sea
I'll flow with the tide
Through chaos and peace
Comfort and warmth
Serenity in vein
Hit me with the wind and rain

I'll follow the waves
And crash where they may
And someday I'll find my way back home
An end ever nears
As days turn to years
I just have to do this on my own

I hear the song of sirens
But I'm already drowning in this God forsaken noise
