As the wind blows & waves rise higher than our boat, I'm terrified & can't see a way out
I can only think of how perfect life has been before I came aboard
My mind's filled with thoughts of how this deep ocean will swallow me whole
Adrift by a tide & I'm scared the more
With my heart not in my chest I slip into insomnia
Trapped inside my own body
I can only imagine how to be a ghost & peep through the windows of the righteous
Learn how they live to find direction
Wake up with a new identity & willing to walk in the light of truth
Pour oil to the flames of love that give this world a glow brighter than a thousand stars

As the wind blows & waves rise higher than our boat, I'm terrified & can't see a way out
I can only think of how perfect life has been before I came aboard
My mind's filled with thoughts of how this deep ocean will swallow me whole
Adrift by a tide & I'm scared the more
With my heart not in my chest I slip into insomnia
Trapped inside my own body
I can only imagine how to be a ghost & peep through the windows of the righteous
Learn how they live to find direction
Wake up with a new identity & willing to walk in the light of truth
Pour oil to the flames of love that give this world a glow brighter than a thousand stars
