Also, this is just what it sounds like to me but...

In hand of sun no peace of mind
Where you begin and I’m defined
Daughter of unconscious faith
Time will tell in spite of me
In hand of sun no peace of mind
It begins and we’ll be fine
Shadows bend and suddenly
The world becomes
And swallows me in

Might actually be...

Hind of sight, no peace of mind
Where you begin and I'm defined
Daughter of unconscious fate
Time will tell, in spite of me

Hind of sight, no peace of mind
Where it begins and we're defined
Shadows bend and suddenly,
The world becomes, and swallows me in

And finally, there's another chunk of lyrics towards the end that goes like...

"Whistle to a friend"
"Gentle til the end"
"Any way human nature can shame, just the same"

Are we sure on these lyrics? It sounds like,

Somebody's child nobody made you.
It's not what you stole, it's what they gave you

And then,

In a route you'll go
In your silence you'll sow.

I could be wrong, but the way I'm hearing it, it sounds like an appeal to a person considering killing themselves.

The "sea" to me just means it's apart from society (in nature, we'd be forgiven for our mistakes).

"Wouldn't you like to know how far you've got left to go?" -- Don't you want to see how it all plays out?

"Somebody's child, nobody made you. It's not what you stole, it's what they gave you." -- Your life is a gift. You have nothing to be ashamed of.

"Would you rather go unwilling? The heart is full and now it's spilling." -- Is this how you want to leave? It's obvious that you're hurting.
