Story behind the song
This was somewhat inspired by a girl I met at a bar.
Lyrics
I tried to live my life behind the restless shores
Walked along the beach still looking for more
I found a boat, near end and it's core
Was made out of the same material on my floor..
and I wanted to live that day
I wanted everything from my past just to go away
So I set out to sail
and hoped someday I'd prevail
On that ship, in a trip out of no where
I'll face my dreams and I'll face the nightmares
It's not that I'm running from who I'm becoming
It's that I'm trying to be something from nothing
So I let the wind control the steer
I closed my eyes and I saw clear
I could feel again, as the sun hit me a thousand degrees
I fell to my knees
and my boat rocked back
I couldn't stop that
I tried to react
but I fell on my back
As the waves kept on the attack
and I fell
Lower than hell
Into that deepest abyss in which we delve
Onto our deepest fears
Our hopes and abandoned ships
The sun never made it down this trip
This was a place to our own
A new place to call home
As I watched it all slip away
The life, love, and every thing became decay
and I could feel it
that love for life I once had
As I sunk deeper in the black
All I could hold onto was the past
I couldn't take it back
As I watched my last air bubble rise above me
I thought to myself I musta been lucky
I must of been lucky
Lucky..
Hell is holding onto the moments
Heaven is letting it all go when
Your heart becomes golden
When you let it all start showing
Loneliness can be fixed
It doesn't always have to end like this
Just remember my voice
And leave the past with a wish
That my life is more than I missed
So find your happiness in the darkest abyss
and soon enough love will come for a visit
And soon enough life become exquisite
I was dead before the oxygen left my head
So I made my bed with the depths instead
If your tired of life, take a second to breathe
Cuz everything we have anyways will leave
