lyrics

The slow-sharpening breeze barely stung my eyes
I've had worse thorns in my side, I hypothesize
I saw the grey overcast crawl, but there laid oases of blue
And I could prey upon their solace for this trip overdue
"Curse your barometric bones! Where's that faith in me?
You act as if I don't know each peak of those marine valleys.
If we cast off shore with haste and lather some elbow grease
We'll be home all safe and sound before the first drop can breach."

Well, imagine racing a storm
Just to chase the calm before
Sometimes I need to speak a bit more clearly
And with emotion

So we set our wayward sails and ventured out to sea
But I feared the hanging blankets made it all look like ink
But we kept full speed ahead as the air grew morose
And the far hills lit by lightning seemed less and less rogue
"You know we're not made up of steel! There's still time to flip!"
"Well, you can rest be assured your sentiment's ridiculous,
But if you do need some reprieve, and if I'm not mistaken,
There's a small plot up ahead we can dub our haven."

Well, imagine maintaining the peace
Just to falter behind the teeth
Sometimes I need to breathe a bit more deeply
And with conviction

Now I don't care to feel displeasure
And the dampness in my socks sure isn't helped by the weather
And I bowed down to assimilate
Within the torrential waves that begged to decimate
I should the constellations even when my eyes are veiled
But somehow my internal compass returned discrepant details
So, I was forced to take a plunge and fashion driftwood raft
And when I find my misplaced rock you know I'll be climbing back

But if I fall again
Will there be someone to catch me
When my arms are broken?
Because I will fall again
Who will be my cushion
When I slip from the crow's nest?

the powerful instrumentals contrasted against the soft unconfident vocals. like a deep yearning for affection but you dont know how to ask. like a love you feel slipping away but youre powerless to stop it. every time i start it i feel like i cant stop. a must have for my collection. skeletalsexing
