The Tide Lyrics by Defy The Ocean

Myopic

2012

You've got yourself a better plan
This roar a lie unseen
You've got yourself a better plan
And you wait for it
I've got a story
But you're not going to like my words
You cast your hopes unto the sails
With your eyes closed
And while you're dreaming of some distant ships
Your head's buried in absolvent myth
Horizons are glimmering
And so we reminisce
'Bout what we could have been
I am this anchor and I am this squall
And I'll have you dreaming of the end
(hold me don't throw me away)
I'll have you foaming at the brink
(again and again)
Casting vicious glances overhead
(whisper softly)
I'll play this role of saviour
From your life of pretend
You too must suffer this
You're pacified and dumb
And blind to what you've done
Some kind of heartless catalyst
Where is your love
You said he would be here
I could have told you he would fail us all
The look in your eyes is almost worth the pain
To see it rise and know we'll all be washed away
So dig your heels in
And know you played a part in this
A parting gift
Horizons are glimmering
And still we reminisce
About what we could have been
Unravelling before our eyes
Like vapour in night skies
Shedding skin and all parasites
The silenced realign
Unravelling before our eyes
Like vapour in night skies
Shedding skin and all parasites
Your proof for the divine
Empty words you lived your life by
Answered by the silent night
Empty promises that held you
Warm at winter's height
Washed away by the tide
