Life-vests all gone
Rescue boats returned home
I cringe at the fact
That I'm not alone
Cause you're here still watching
Your hands have gone limp
God how I wish
You'd give me the slip
You cared for me
We both know it's true
I wasn't that guy
Couldn't care for you too
I'm wild and free
But now alone on this boat
And let's both be honest
We know it can't float
Just look at it now
It's gonna capsize
I start the doggy paddle
Tears fill your eyes
I didn't try
I know I failed
I was gone with this ship
Wind in its sails
Yet you sit there wishing
I might make it back
I already feel
The weight of my pack
There's nothing inside
But the burden of love
Wasted and squandered
Fate fits like a glove
I'm ready to go
My tickets been bought
The tide pulls me deeper
Your eyes bloodshot
You can't stop watching,
"Curse this demise!
Please rise like the rays
Of an early sunrise"
But the sea is thing
That cannot be stopped
It moves ever forward
Like hands on a clock
I sink to the bottom
Alone with my tears
I look up and watch
Your slow wave from the pier
I know you are sad
I know what I've done
I hope you can live
I hope you love
Don't cry for me dear
Too many tears shed
Dirges are writ
Eulogies said
And my breath escapes
To the salty abyss
I begin my march
My final trip
My soul has now parted
With my earthly being
Rise to the surface
I live without feeling
I pass you sitting
Now truly alone
Your hands are still limp
Eyes turned to stone
You think I am gone
Up to the sky
But I can't leave now
I've left you behind
So I sit with you
We on the pier
I hope you know
That I'm still here
I will never leave you
Not like before
We'll both sit here
Alone on the Shore
