The Ocean

from Atlantis by Capeside

/

lyrics

Hold my breath and wait, hold my breath and kill the hours
As chasing my thoughts with afflictions & solitude
The writings on the wall so watch the smoke set in and the ashes fall
As I’m sinking like the stones you always threw
Do I go down with the ship or to swim for the sake of it?
Before the coast gets too far out of reach
Take my time, misspend my youth, anchors sinking like my virtues

Cause it feels like the ocean is washing over me
Weighing me down cause I can barely breathe
Will I bleed out or will it wash my conscious clean
I’m reachin’ out before I’m all but lost at sea
It’s the ocean

Breathing out in waves, I’m breathing out in waves and waiting
For the coast to calm to make it to safer shores
I’m taking water on as the pressure breeds and fills my lungs
As the taste of salt and clarity is wearing thin
Do I go down with the ship or to swim for the sake of it?
Before the coast gets too far out of reach
I’ll cut my ties, these IOU’s, cash them in for a change of fortune

Cause it feels like the ocean is washing over me
Weighing me down cause I can barely breathe
Will I bleed out or will it wash my conscious clean
I’m reachin’ out before I’m all but lost at sea
I can’t hold my head much longer the feeling gets stronger
I can’t hold my head much longer

I’m too far out it seems
