Betray The Emissary - Lighthouses lyrics

Worthless, stranded, drifting on these unlit seas Hopeful-branded, the value of a past miscarried So we failed our opening, uncommitted, temporizing The tide swept out while we slept And though this loss we grieve, time will not indulge our regrets Despite these currents, we mutiny A hollow fate we bear pursuing dreams beyond our reach Is it the strength of our convictions? Are we seized by fallacy? Is it the weight of our delusions insisting we're free? Although there's freedom in a life lived without direction, The more we stay this course the more we cast aside connection Of all these paths we commit to the depths Our shallow hearts will only covet remnants filtered of dissent We're only living the lives they least resist The suggestion of sacrifice and suddenly we can't commit Bitter, we protest the course of our lives But the choices demand that we let fate decide With so many lights to call our sails The more the wind grows, the more we fail No destination to reach, we'll never see land again We're all hopeless sailors In a sea of drowned men
