Brine Lyrics by Defy The Ocean

Elderflower

2016

I’ve lost my way
Condemned to obey this endless gyre
I’ve kept my head bowed
Never made a sound until this day
I’ve bathed my wings in brine
Told myself there was no sky
But I’ve got to believe
In something ultimately beautiful
While I twist this jagged blade into my spine
So I’ll sow this seed and see if there can be
A better way, a better way, a better way to be
So I’ll sow this seed and see if it’s time for me
To get away, to break away, and awake from sleep
You said that waking into darkness
Isn’t waking at all
But I’ll squirm at your persuasions
Until I break my bones
I’ve bathed my wings in brine
Told myself there was no sky
So no more smiles steeped in regret
No more defending this life I’ve led
No more throwing disdain
At the walls of this glass house
No more talking it up and playing it down
