The Wretched Tide

We're leaving today
After dust-ridden shutters close
And heartbeats they rush
Then to cease in your embrace

These scars thoughout the night
Left no more fighting in us
No tears to fill the void
In a place even devils fled

The wretched tongues
Wording their pain onto me
Until eventide enters
There's no place out of here

For grace to lift me up
Every molecule whispered to make peace with this unreality
I felt I was slipping downwards into darkness
And in darkness I stayed until sadness closed its eyes

Ships passing in the silvery night
Carrying this vicious, benevolent heart
And in sadness we part
In the dark of you
In the dark of me

Release these hearts from the turmoil

Tired and cold, a tale since eons of old
So elusive this intemperance of escape
So much has fallen and is falling still
Into the hands of the ever madding crowd

So we're leaving today
As dust-ridden shutters close
To site that glimmer of hope
And breathe if only for a while
These stars that turned the tide
Left no more fighting in us
No hope to find the dawn
In a place even specters dwell

Ships passing in the silvery night
Carrying this vicious, benevolent heart
And in sadness we part
In the dark of you
In the dark of me

Release these hearts from the turmoil
Only love before they drown

Tired and cold, a tale since eons of old
So elusive this intemperance of escape
So much has fallen and is falling still
Into the hands of the ever madding crowd
