Stranger Lyrics by Corusco

Wake

2018

“I've failed, my daughter, for the last time"
I said the last time I gave in and I left you all alone
I regret this playful garden that grew up
Around the walls you once called home

I woke up next to a stranger
There’s nothing stranger than falling apart
This autumn wind
This creaking boat
It calls me backwards to the sea
It calls me home

Forgive me
I can't patch this sinking ship
Forgive me
Was I ever a good man?
I should think not

I walked away like a bleeding ghost
To watch your family fall apart
Never looking back

Is it here?
Is it now?
The only chance to ask for peace
Or burn like ashes in the ground

Forgive me
I can't patch this sinking ship
Forgive me
I will sleep beneath the chaos of the sea

Spread my bones like scattered ash
Across the river where I’ll sleep forever
And every tear that I have sewn
Will claw its way out of my eyes and grow

You forgave me
And you've patched this sinking ship
You forgave me
Now I'll sleep beneath the chaos of the sea
