Then came the tsunami
To wash away the flames
Smoke and ruins languished
Beneath eternal rains

And all I knew of anger
Was slowly washed away
Memories and clouds obscured the sun
And all was grey

The voices in the river
They gathered in a whisper
Of lies and doubt, a burden on the mind
(A thousand leagues were calling… run!)
I wish I'd spoken sooner
And asked about the future
But your silence was a pressure
And I couldn't leave the whispering behind

What were you thinking?
I'll never know where did you go
Inside your head?
And so I'm sinking
How I behaved is now my grave
Upon this bed
I wish for sleep...

With all the secrets that the water surely keeps…

God damn, talk to me
What have you done to me?
I'm dancing out a fever in my bones

Love and ocean madness
Where a sadness slowly trickles down my neck
And these chills that mark the biggest of regrets

I turned to childish blame
As I was drowning in your name
Teardrops danced together down my window
(In a dance of heavy rain)
I swallowed every question
And acted in aggression
All in an effort to escape the undertow

What was I thinking?
I let you know I had to go
And so farewell
For I am sinking
And all the pain will feel the same
Upon this bed
I wish for sleep…

With all the secrets that the water surely keeps…

Love and ocean madness
Where a sadness slowly trickles down my neck
And these chills that mark the biggest of regrets

Why did I say that?
I guess the biggest wave of all
Was when I didn't stop to listen
And then you said that
You said you didn't mind at all
But I was running
And I didn't want to know

How did you feel?
I didn't ever want to know
I said I'd never ever know
How did you feel?
I hope you didn't have to hurt
I hope I never made you hurt
So, why did I say…?

Sailing away
Drifting down the river
Wonderful undertow
Carry me softly
Thinking of you
Every second I stay

Why did you cast me away?
Sell me down the river?
Wasting away in a whirlpool
Well, I don't need your love
When love is in the water
Grabbing me, dragging me
Holding me under

Sailing away
On such a wonderful day

The light upon the surface breaks
I'm pushing and I'm kicking
Like I pushed you far away
Water gives and water takes
A shipwreck is my home
Until I find the words to say

I'm sorry for the mess that I have caused

Love and ocean madness
Where a sadness slowly trickles down my neck
And these chills that mark the biggest of regrets

in my darkest moments
I could leave myself behind
And if I run now
Then I'm running for the rest of my life
