Inner Oceans Lyrics

Stranded in this vessel
Far away from hope
Drifting amid a restless calm
Persistent ache of body's memory

Dull senses, phantom pain
Of struggles passed, of lonely deaths
Of painful rebirths
Floating here abandoned
Await the promised storms

Drowning without warning
Mental tempest surge and swell

Sunburnt and exposed again
At the mercy of the flood
Smash me against eroded cliffs
Pulverised to beads of sand

Once more regain myself
Re-inhabiting the shell
Corpse dredged up from ocean floor
Rinsed and ready
To repeat

Drowning without warning
Mental tempest surge and swell
Overcome the boundaries
Overwhelming all defence
Torrents of emotion swallow everything
Frozen histories liquefied by prismatic hourglass

Set adrift on inner oceans
