Take what we need while there's time
The city will be up in a short while
If I'm not mistaken it's catching flames
Let us run and escape back to the beach side

The city is burning and the ocean is turning
All the light that you possess scattered by lakes and sea
Guiding as we dance and sway in the tattered remnants of our destroyed moonlit eve

You are my lighthouse, the sea mark
The tempest of apocalypse has created this tide
I'm always pulled to the black silver ocean
Where these currents and the heavens collide
You're so unpredictable and I'm this solid brick who's unwilling to stray
We're in this solid state where the currents can't seem to carry us away
I'm the navigator who never could seem to lead
You're the ship who was always too proud to ever sink
