lyrics

Oh the sound of the waves
Pounds my ears s'I start to shake and sway
And all of these years, I've harbored my fears
And so my words catch in my throat
I've no retort for all those gleeful jeers

That said, I'm fucked in the head
Wounded and wrecked, I prowl the deck
My composure fixed, undaunted
Though I'm truly often haunted
Harrowed by my hopes and dreams
My muted muse whispers a scream

I am lost I can not feel my breath in my chest

Always dreaming, never doing
Seldom working, rarely trying
Thoughts of effort, my endevor
Yet my dreams I ne'er engender

My lost muse in me is shaking
My life's works in me are waiting
T'someday find themselves created
Though their birth is long belated

I bite my once golden tongue
So swallowing my songs unsung
For fear my peers will me deride
Einfach my words withdraw and hide

With each footfall
Echoing off the ship's steel walls

I am deaf to
My anguished muse's muffled calls

Though I'm desperate
To hear it's voice ring out once more

But my regrets
Bury it like a thousand stones

Ever seeking, never finding
Where in me my muse is hiding

I am lost I can not feel my breath
Inside my swollen aching chest

As the sound of the waves
Pulls me along I wonder
If the world forgives my blunders
Though their countless as the stars
And fill the gap 'tween Earth and Mars

It's the sound that my voice makes meekly
It's the sound as my hand shakes
As my words begin to trickle through

Where are you, oh my muse?
I hear it
It's the sound of a ship as it shipwrecks

Nowhere to dock, all hope is lost, nothing by rocks, nothing

Hear you, feel you

The vacuum of space extends embrace
Mem'ries unfold, of me take hold
Trapped in their midst my words are mist
As nonsense sits on my lips

Oh the thought, of creating naught, so sickens me
It's enough to blanch my skin
Coward I am find shaking my hands
Just knowing that I may become nothing in life
Wakes me, and shakes me, oh I have so much life to live

All at once the world erupts
My fears collapse at last
Oh silent night, restore my mind
Let stars align, just right
Let them shine, cast down their light

I can see, I can breathe
I can think, I can feel
My regrets, myriad
And wicked, flee my brest
My craven eyes are at last cast aside

Where to go?, What to do?
My thoughts race, as I face
Fate's warm open embrace
Now I hear my muse near
Its voice rings sch?n und clear

I finally find some closure
Knowing my pain is over
I now realize my words I held inside

My chest is breaking
Lungs on ribs are raking

Voices, our voices
Sing now as one
My words, are our words

It took too long for me to find them, divine them

I rejoice, I crumble
I shake and sway
No longer wallow

I've lived too much my life 'ther languid, or anguished
Yet now I find at last such feelings extinguished
I shake no more

I want to hold onto you my muse
You're the sound of the ship as it shipwrecks

Standing on rocks, gath'ring my thoughts, regretting naught
Nothing.
