lyrics

I'm moving 'cross sea
Moving 'cross country
No one will ever find me here
My boat hit some rocks
I'm sinking so slowly
Would you ever think you'd find me at

The bottom of the ocean

You said you'd cry 'til my return
In my heart your fire burns
Like the candle's dripping wax
It begins to harden

Surviving a fall
Failed suicide machines
Give me death or give me sunlight
I'm gasping on words
Choking on blessing
Would you ever think you'd find me at

Your doorstep with nothing

I've made a home you'll never see
Walking around it's killing me
My old life is your new death
We never meant nothing
You said you'd cry 'til my return
In my heart your fire burns
Like the candle's dripping wax
It begins to harden
