lyrics

The still waves of this hole
Will slowly take a hold
The tables turn and lies will burn
Relieve me of this goal
And raise these arms like towers
Act out this old play
That authors wrote of this false hope
Ashamed and locked away

The wolves at shore have been before
With keepsakes set to burn
And lessons left to learn
Take my hand and walk with me

Drag me to the lake I know
No one else will show
To disappear for just another year

This false front leaves me cold
And the stories have been sold
And those who gloat from lands away
Find a reason in this name
Content in jacket weather
Wrestle me away
The pocketbooks of those that took
A life that can’t be played
