We’re leagues and seas apart
You’d have to dive til you ran out of breath to find me.
I’m so far down.
We could drive past the places we grew up
Never stopping til we're out of the familiar
This station is tuning out during our favorite song
We might be wasted, but our time is sober

Built up from the ashes of the fragments of who I used to be
I danced with the wild flames of lust that swallowed me without remorse
I felt no pain, only the heat of a strange love
My affection is evolving into apathy, dissolving
I'm numb from weeks of cold English rain
He was lost and I was scared
The bittersweet truth is that I still long to be held again as steady as that guitar
Worn with emotional battle scars
From the debris of that late summer spark
I stand tall, but not without tired feet
I surrender to a cheap bottle of wine, filled with sweet woe
Chia-like, I shall grow and grow.

I've spent my nights falling in love with fiction
Imagining I could travel through space and time
I want a companion who won't turn away
Even the tarot cards know
I'm cursed to have no hand to hold

I'm drinking the memories of you away
On the floor, as worn and tired as this guitar
Even more out of tune
Unable to sing anything but the saddest songs
I'm done with writing words no one will read
Singing songs no one will hear
I'm tired of thinking about someone who doesn't think of me
Dreaming of someone who forgot me long ago
Tunes stripped from a soul that died when the first leaf fell
A heart that can't break is no good to anyone
What if it has been broken beyond repair?

I was once fueled by the idea of love
You took all I had to give
I am now a fragment of who I used to be
A broken seashell in the sand
The empty passenger's seat on your journey home.

The siren, I can't resist you
I've run miles with tattered shoes
Calloused feet
I've forgotten the color of your eyes
Regardless, your song has never left me
You lull me back into a sad oblivion
All I have to do is follow your blood stained shards of glass
Left from the carefully constructed house that was once your heart

My life is in irreparable pieces
I am down and defeated
Walking lost
Unable to feel a thing without you

Ten years ago I knew an elusive man
He used to call me Rhiannon
I knew the song but I never knew why
He said I'll figure it out when I'm older
Nearly a dozen years between us
Thousands of miles
I remember he lived in the California sunshine
I imagined he would start each morning greeting the sun
His only company a dark coffee and lit cigarette
Ten years later, I vaguely remember a man
He called me Rhiannon
I would hum the song for years, sometimes I forgot why
I would sing and sing but I'm still in the dark now that I'm older

He crooned soft and slow
Bringing the harsh truth to light
The ghosts of my past
They haunt me like the rest of them
I've never begged them to leave
Your sublime words were a worn blanket
They kept me warm for passing weeks
Before fading just like your smile
Mine is becoming more jaded every morning.

The first day of a brand new start
I trudged with heavy feet to a baptism
I wouldn't mind keeping my sins
I'd rather dispose of heartache and heal the cuts so deep
I remember being pure with conscience in tact
Days before the holy water would burn to the bone
I need a blindfold to find my faith
Blurred and too faded for my soul to see
