I see the flame fall to ashes
and it won't be long
before you turn
wrestling for the will
just to carry on
You might tell yourself
you were meant
to be in this life alone
You might tell yourself
no one else
could risk the fallen tides
to bring you home
You're racing
for an empty shore,
erasing how you feel
But when you lay still
in the fallen tides,
that's where I'll be
You feel the time, how it passes
in the veiling storm,
until you learn
just to feel the signs
that you're turning from
You might tell yourself
you were meant
to be in this life alone
You might tell yourself
no one else
could risk the fallen tides
to bring you home
