1. From Sinking
His time there so long
His fingers trace the endless walls he knew so well
And there the breaths were short and hard and thick with salt
And in this place he always knew he'd awake alone
Hands clutch in panic
In this place we built of sand homes that caved
The walls were weak with salty tears
Through the cracks in these walls he saw the sun
The sun dripped through the cracks and died
Shadows managed to betray
Like liquid was the sadness
Until into the light he stepped
In this truth he knew himself to be
From sinking sands he stepped into lights embrace
2. Glisten
Drawn in
Kneeling, scraping, praying
Her lips glisten
Anticipate
Glisten
Fall into
The burning noise and sting
Her jaws dripping
Sockets glowing
Glisten
That reach hasn't reached me
Her machine has reached me
(She's) Waiting for me to give in
Waiting for me to cease
3. Carry
And the water takes hold
Fills his lungs and crushes his body
Dust floats through sun in water
As you draw close
Fall to me
He sees like his never seen before
I will carry you
True and Free
And the water carries him away
Now that you are here
You'll swim with me
Soon he ceases to be at all
I am clutching you
True
He sees like he's never seen before
He is light in water
4. Weight
( .... all in all in, all in a day .... )
( ... a day it changes everything ...)
5. The Beginning and the End
Long you both laid in the sun's yellow stare
On the edge with eyes rolled back in the waves we calling him
As he teetered on the edge
The waves were calling him
He had seen it, felt it's might, bent under
Washing away
He thinks of you
Everything slows
Lights flashing through
The water flies
Over his head
You are me now
As you lay on my bed
The water flies
Over his head
You are me now
As you lay on my bed
This is what he'd always known
The promise of greater beyond the water's final horizon
6. Celestial (Ext./Alt. Version)
