We Are the Ocean

Higher,
Aiming for the stars
The endless ascend
We go higher
Stepping off the edge
Not burying head in the sand
And as I am
Going through the motions
I am drowning
I’m drowning in notion
I am the ocean
Louder
Our voices will ring
Through the walls of this prison
And I say, louder
The louder we sing
The harder they’ll fall
And as our land
Is going through the motions
We are water, and we are sand
We are the ocean
Hold on to your hope, forever
Bring them home

Lost but at Peace
04:40

I had a dream
I was falling
Into abyss
Frozen to touch
Barely standing
I was lost but now at peace
But when I awoke
Darkness overflowed
I could see it rising and falling
Like the waves of my calling
To the sea
Blessed eyes that see the end
And don’t get frightened
There’s a storm that’s coming in
But sky will brighten
There’s a story to tell
But do you mean it?
All the time of our lives
Flashed like a minute
I’m moving on
From the slumber
I am here
I’m wide awake
Open my eyes
And I wonder
If awake is all it takes
To see the world is blind
To us of different mind
But i can see the change that is coming
Through my pain
I’m becoming
Forever whole
Blessed hands that feel the wrong
And try to mend it
It doesn’t mean you are at peace
If you want to end it
It’s not the rise that gives you wings
It’s the falling
Through the tears in this world
You’ll find your calling
I’m serenading the sea
As if it hears me
My soul is hurt but I’m at peace
And the water heals me
This is farewell
I finally see how bad I’m burned
But only those that stay inert
Cannot get hurt

Dead, but I’ve been seeing you
For I never gave you up
But I am
So tired
I roam this reality
Like ship
Roams the endless sea
And no one
Can see me
I yearn to be loved by you
But instead I vanish
Like half-forgotten dream
Dissipates
I pray for my fate
To be any
Anything but sleep
I have been seeing you
Although you died long ago
And I am
So tired
Fear is taking over me
Like seeds
That you sow to reap
Grow flowers
Of terror
I lie every night awake
Shadows will embrace me
Like dreadful dreams of
Dreams dissipate
I pray for my fate to be any
Anything but sleep
Sleep covers me with vines
We belong to the same realm
In dreadful dreams of dreams I avoid
This mortal coil is calling
For anything but sleep

You start from the heart
You belong there
And it's only a matter of time till she sees
Nothing else ever made sense
It doesn't make sense
And it's only a matter of time till she sees
No one else matters
It's only you that matter
I'll stitch them all together
To make one perfect love
And stories will be told
Of my exceptional betrothed
You exist for her lips
The ones that approve of you
So you pick the reddest most obedient ones
Of the one that said nice things
That only spoke when spoken to
The shape doesn't matter as long as they praise you
And you'll make her praise you
For good
I'll stitch them all together
To make my perfect little friend
And I know we will be
Will be together till the end

What doesn’t kill you
Makes you regret it
Though I’m hurt, I am still here
But I am not here to forgive
All your past mistakes, you see
Hear me laughing 'cause I’m still alive
That’s your comeuppance for living a lie
All your words are empty shells
Nothing exonerates lies
There’s not a shadow of truth in your eyes
Nothing saves you from yourself
Your mind games are starting to weaken
Their hold on my tired heart
And time, through tortuous waiting
Will eventually do its part
Shadows crawling but I’m not afraid
'Cause I’m made of light and I’m taking a stand
It’s much easier to know
Pity the living, don’t pity the dead
This love was a trap and it was a dead end
I am glad you let it show
I am glad to let it go

Gone
04:43

Days go by
Boundless ocean and endless sky
Will swallow my
Staggering pain as I say goodbye
Facing the lies I’ve lived
A million miles won’t be a relief
Now that I know
All hope’s gone
Gone, gone, gone
Eyes once blind
Opening wide, now decipher signs
Undermined
Gathering truths I cannot abide
Fears in the dark, they grow
I'm turning to light, now that I know
They’re only alive
In my mind
They’re gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
A liar,
Like ivy chokes the vine
Myself your lies entwine
A twisted and sickening game
And what’s for you to gain?
And all of your secrets
Hidden from the light
A shield from the world’s insight
Will finally be your demise
You’ll burn for all your lies
Your poison in my veins
Takes its toll
Your thorns piercing my bare soul
I’m fabric sewn with pain
All in vain
Days go by
Boundless ocean and endless sky
Will revive
What I’ve always known,
That I’m here and not alone
I’m not alone
I’m not

Just want a little rest till I expire
And I don't mind what you are
My reason to come close
When everyone steps back
Is I don't mind what you are
Just want to breathe some air away from here
I am inspired by what you are
My bones are faulty bricks
To build the life anew
So I don't mind what you are
A well of tears resides within
And I can't drown and I can't swim
I've lost the count of days, the count of years
It's been so long that I've been here
And everyone I see is trying to escape
And no one wishes to speak
You are the first to ever talk to me
But I am so lost for words
My path is paved with fear
And nobody comes near
But you just gave me a chance
Lost but I'm human after all
Alone but that's human after all

The Storm
03:09

In silence of darkened streets,
Stars will align to lead us anywhere
Through the unknown we fall
Into the light, and all
Will be alright
From under the wings of the storm,
We come
Pray the storm
Gets calm
How do I know
My heart
Still beats
Let us
Retreat
Now that we’re all alone
Children of crumbled walls
And all that could have been
Let us rebuild what’s ours
Banish our fears and start
To live at last
But inside the storm
We are
Alone
Will it soon
Be gone?
Here we will find
Our peace
Quiet and still, at ease
Forevermore
Look into the eye of the storm
And see
If the storm
Will seize?
How do I convince
My heart
To beat?
Make them retreat
Under the wings of the storm
We hide
Make the storm
Subside

Swan Song
06:04

Stardust we are
And we dissolve in space
There’s no time or place
To look back
Startled
By a sudden noise
Soul is taking off
But where will it land?
So now tell me
If you’re friend to me
Startled and cold
You’re already gone
Swans sing
When they know they die
So am I tonight
I’m greeting twilight
I’ve passed the time
And my storyline
Is about to end
Farewell my friend
So now tell me
What do you see?
It’s a friend or
The enemy?
Startled and cold
You’re already gone
Final threshold
You’re already gone

Silence covers your sleep
Like frost
But before you awaken
Let us inside into your dream
Dreams of ease
Of freedom to go where you please
Are nothing but lies
Nothing but pain in disguise
And it’s tearing you apart
But it’s a part of what you are
These lies and
This silence
Let me carry your fears away
After all that’s been taken from you
There’s no reason to stay
But stay you must
Among the ruins settles dust
And all that remains
Are memories of loss and of pain
And it’s tearing you apart
But it’s a part of what your heart
Once dreamed of in silence
It’s tearing you apart
But it’s a part of what you are
This life and
This dreaming
