lyrics

You’re drifting away on a bed made of broken glass
Try so hard to fall off, try so hard not to drown again
Try so hard not to come down, try so hard not to forget
On this calm sea I feel not regret
On a parallel level you never have to step

Chaotic faces took this prison cell, turned it into something beautiful
Took this prison cell, turned into something…

With these broken wings…
These plastic wings…
I’m sinking in

Slip again, fall again, drown again, but don’t cut your self
On this broken raft just watch me slip again, fall again, and drown again
Through these decayed cells I forget myself
On this broken raft I forget myself

With these broken wings that have become me
I’m sinking into this Cotton Sea

Into this Cotton Sea

Every day, everywhere, memories that go nowhere
Until we find the courage to face our fears, and then the tide will carry me home

Never will I be me…
We say “never will I be me”

Do you remember the days when were young and naïve
To think that life and love would last forever
Now the sands wash away with time, and the shoreline recedes
So drown all of your perceptions, as the undertow will carry you home

You wasted your whole life living it all in fear
Sailing away on a bed made of broken glass
Never again, never again, never
Never, will I be me
