Whispers of the Waves

I am the deck, you are the sea...
I am the light on the water, and you are moving underneath
I am the rail, you are the sea...
I don't know what I'm even looking at,
Don't know if it's even happening...
Higher than the moon, deeper than the seas
Holder of the truth, keeper of the keys
Enemy remorse, hero savagery
Infinitely dark, zero gravity
Welcome your despair, but develop hope
Sharpen up your blade, cut the devil's throat
Look it in the eye, wonder what it is
Fire in the sky, underwater winds
Turning of the tides, learning of the wise
Burning of the eyes, yearning of the cries
Save the second five, grifters into slaves,
Listen to the rain, whispers of the waves
Falling of the stars, elegant eclipse
Voices of the ghosts, skeletons of ships
Digging deeper down, crawling out above
Shifting of the sands, falling out of love

{it doesn't take much...
it doesn't take much...
to ruin a moment like this...}
Feed me your agonies, your riches and voices
Trespass against me, and offer me choices
Stronger than fire, the cancer is slow
Your tears are like mine,
But the answer is no.
Feed me your agonies, your riches and voices
Trespass against me, and offer me choices
Stronger than fire, the cancer is slow
Your tears are like mine,
But the answer is no.
Nothingness of days, features of the sleep
Diamonds on the surface, creatures of the deep
Forbidden is the truth, permission to believe
Reaching out for hope, fishermen and thieves
Ruining the future, dealing with the past
Sleeping on the floor, ceiling made of glass
Merciless and cold, miserable in mood
Blinding to the eye, invisible and blue
Cursing at the sun, yielded my advice
Open to the air, shielded by the ice
All we do is wait, used to do it all
Rhythm of your blood, music through a wall
Lovers without hope, strangers without things
Bodies without spirits, angels without wings
Start of something else, finality of breath
Origin of life, and melody of death
They curse your name...
(they curse my name, burst into flame)
Whisper please, please, please...
(whispering their pleas, different degrees)
People can be so mean...
They call you the drowning machine
I am the screw...
(screw that slowly turns, fuel that only burns)
You are the sea...
(yes I am the sea, lesson and the key)
I don't know if its me who's moving through you, or you through me
I am the bridge...
(bridge is just a phase, set them all ablaze)
You are the sea...
(yes I am the sea, lesson and the key)
I yelled, "I'm taking on water!" And you... just kept on battering...
Feed me your agonies, your riches and voices
Trespass against me, and offer me choices
Stronger than fire, the cancer is slow
Your tears are like mine,
But the answer is no.
They curse your name...
Whisper please, please, please
People can be so mean...
they call you the drowning machine.
