At Dawn

The tide rolls in
The moon pulls from within
Celestial tides, drown her
The tide rolls in

With rusty nails you bind my feet to the floor
I’d trade my sunlight for your mornings
With barbed wire you tie my wrist behind my back
I’ve lost myself to this

Right on the edge of no return
Right at the edge of your heart’s lost and dark unknown
Waiting for, we don’t know
Can what’s been lost be returned, or must I let you go?

Ah

No one can prove I am alive
Leaning against the wall
Face down in compromise
No one can prove I am alive

No one can prove I am alive
Leaning against the mind
Face down in compromise
No one can prove I am alive

I’ve gone and given myself a dream
Always just out of reach
I’m walking into the wind
Steps not aligned, nor lives intertwined

Take down the wall
Take out the mind

I’ve created a rift
And lent my reason to the tide
Only these waters keep rising
And the stakes always keep climbing

And I’ll keep trying

We linger on borrowed time
Always aware we are meant to die

Right on the edge of no return
Right at the edge of your heart’s lost and dark unknown
Waiting for, we don’t know
Can what’s been lost be returned, or must I let you go?

I’ve lost myself to this
Knowing just how it ends
Gracious with lies we bent
The truth, lost within us

Dark clouds surround your head
The storm coming from ahead
The roar of the rising tide
A changing season of our lives

Along the horizon
Lightning dances
It’s where you stand, it’s where you’ll fall
Walk on water, but drown, drowning within
