They who made you, they made me too
Quiet like you, violent like you
I see you there, wild in my dreams
When you return, go to the sea
Air is your permanent struggle to breathe
When you return, go to the sea
Gone, gone, gone, you were never alone
I'll come home and raise you up to what's left
Gone, gone
Ghost of your voice finally rests
Open your eyes now to all that is left
Don't be afraid now, you won't need me
You'll be at peace now, at last from the sea
You will forget eventually
The life that you wasted that led to the sea
Gone, gone, gone, you were never alone
I'll come home and raise you up to what's left
Gone, gone, gone, you were never alone
I'll come home and raise you up to what's left
Gone, gone
They who made you, they made me too
I see they can make us again
Quiet like you, violent like you
I see you there, wild in my dreams
When you return, go to the sea
Air is your permanent struggle to breathe
When you return, go to the sea
I'll come home and raise you up to what's left
Gone, gone
Open your eyes now to all that is left
Don't be afraid now, you won't need me
You'll be at peace now, at last from the sea
You will forget eventually
The life that you wasted that led to the sea
I'll come home and raise you up to what's left
Gone, gone, gone, you were never alone
I'll come home and raise you up to what's left
Gone, gone
I see they can make us again

i think it's "gone, gone, gone, you were never MINE."
and "Ghost of your BONES finally rests Open your eyes now to all that YOU'VE left"
and "I SAY they can make us again"
and perhaps the line in the chorus is "I'll come home And raise you up to THE SKY" definitely not "what's left"
let's keep working...
first to comment on the song... this one's quite sad to me. the more i've heard it, the heavier it's become, the more it feels sort of heartbreaking. some of this is only an approximation, but here's my interpretation thus far:
they who made you, they made me too quiet like you, violent like you i'll see you live, wild in my dreams when you return, go to the sea air is your permanent struggle to breathe when you return, go to the sea
gone, gone, gone you were never alone i'll come home and raise you up to what's left
go, go
ghost of your voice finally rests/rise open your eyes now to all that --- life/is left (?) don't be afraid now, you won't need me you'll be at peace now, at last from the sea you will forget eventually a life that you wasted that led to the sea
gone, gone, gone you were never alone i'll come home and raise you up to what's left
gone, gone, gone you were never alone i'll come home and raise you up to what's left oh, oh
they who made you, they made me too i say they can make us again
according to Wye Oak:
