Smooth Seas Make for Poor Sailors Lyrics by My Eyes Fall Victim

My Eyes Fall Victim

2009

Somehow I've found myself all alone
But not alone at all
I'm finding footsteps in the sand
But they are not my own
So speak up, my heart
Speak up
This discontent within my soul can only whisper for so long
Speak up
Speak up
What are you beating for?
What are you beating for?
This darkness is unrelenting
Oh, and it's all around me
But what good is the light if I stumbled when I saw?
My lungs scream for an answer
In this solitary silence
Oh, God, my God, how long must this go on?
I'm tossing and I'm turning
And I'm failing, I'm failing You
I feel the tide pulling me deeper
But it's getting so hard to fight
My heart is lifting its anchor
And You're losing me
To the vanities
To the vices
To all the places I swore I'd never go
From day one it's been the smallest things that have hurt me the most
But it's true that I never took a step with this end in mind
And I can only tread this water for so long before I'm eternally under
'Cause I'm running out of options, and we're running out of time
I'm up to my neck in a sea full of excuses and bad decisions
And my soul has begun its descent to the depths
Surely, this will be the place of my reckoning
And as my lungs breathe seawater, I glimpse my end
I am the ocean
Make me move
I am the ocean
Make me move
I am the ocean
I am the ocean
Make me move
But then I begin to
Be still, and know who You are
Be still, and know who you are
Be still, and know who you are
Oh, but then I begin to
Be still, and know who You are
Be still, and know who you are
Be still, and know who you are
But then I begin to be still
(Speak up)
But then I begin to
Be still, and know who You are
(Speak up)
But then I begin to
Be still, and know who You are
Be still, and know who you are
