Title: I write lyrics, not poetry.
Post by: Embodied Words on November 26, 2007, 08:23:13
Is this what you mean by the sea?

I don't believe it's as deep as the clouds...

I watch the tide coming in and I think...

It's not as deep nor is it as loud...

But in a way they are both just the same-

everything looks so damned clean after rain,

and in both I can get up and fade-

blend into your dark sky-stay awake-

and stay away.


Is this what you meant by decieved?

I didn't think that this kind of pain was allowed....

I thought that you promised relief?

Just when I thought I had it all figured out...

But in the end they are both just the same-

pain can wash you as clean as the rain,

and in time even these scars shall fade-

I'll blend into your false love -stay awake-

and stay away!


Why don't you

explain to me

why it's so wrong?

Stand here

in my place,

hear me out!

He's not here and

the dark sea reminds

me of us.

Washing me over

as dark as

the clouds...




I don't think I know quite what you mean,

but I know that it's not far away-

it's high tide and the wind's up today.

I think there's no way that you're going to stay.


Now I realize you're all just the same

no one sticks around after the rain.

When you feel clean you will get up and fade-

blend in with someone else -stay away-



Oh I feel like we're in for a storm!

Can you feel something dark in the air?

I ask God if there is something more-

He says "it's too late to act like you care."


Well why don't you

explain to me

it's so wrong?

Stand here

in my place,

hear me out!

He's not here

and the dark sea reminds

me of us.

Washing me over

as dark as

the clouds.

Stay away...

Stay away...

Stay away...

Stay a...





"Stay Awake"
