Hungry Lights - An Outset In The Sea lyrics

Fate began to pull at the bow of my hollow existence So I prayed No vessel, drifting in the ocean Your hushing waves knew me And of the dust that sat beneath my feet? The Sandman must have shaky hands You hailed me back! My beloved waits at the wall beyond the sea Please, don't forget me Or the man that I had truly meant to be And above my head, an albatross with wings of iron We're all that's left My spirit woven thin I should have drowned... [Chorus] Jubilee and hilarity -What life would be if you and I had exchanged our arms I am promised to a century of torment and scorn And every day, I wake up someone new—reborn True suffering—the cottage of the world I could catch a thousand sheepshead I could bask in the glory of the spoil But what it meant to me could never satisfy the taste for more O' what catastrophe! I'd mastered all my craft, but not reward So soon, my ardent day would cast a spiraled shell—my fated lure [Chorus] Jubilee and hilarity -What life would be if you and I had exchanged our arms I am promised to a century of torment and scorn And every day, I wake up someone new—reborn True suffering—the cottage of the world O' how I longed to walk your shore! To bathe in your affection forever This tattered, twisted, broken mast would sail no more But we sail endless... Thus upon my brow? An omen The heavy, secret eye evolves Two iron wings take flight But to never stray my side I could never be the same I could spot it! Your shoreline, just on horizon's beak Vehemence and I was kicking But my fleeting strength was low I reached out and clawed the swell back Drenched and wide-eyed, I propelled forward Forward I'd go! The sea would not defeat me!
