lighthouse

lyrics

[Verse]

Stasis in a storm

Night fell with fatigue

If it swallowed my form,

I thought I'd be free.

But a tower stood at shore,

A light flickered, a faint glow,

Leading into the unknown

It guided me, and I followed.

[Chorus]

Dithering in the past

Couldn't possibly last.

Ruminating alone,

The dark waters took me whole.

Even with all the facts,

I still couldn't find land.

A sea controlling time,

It swallowed me alive.

[Verse]

The roiling waves,

Splashes in my face,

I gasped for breath

With gurgling strength.

Because that light on the shore,

It shined its spotlight for me,

When I thought my life, my soul,

were shipwrecked, drowning, lost at sea.

[Chorus]

Dithering in the past

Couldn't possibly last.

Ruminating alone,

The dark waters took me whole.

Even with all the facts,

I still couldn't find land.

A sea controlling time,

It swallowed me alive.

[Bridge]

Fleeing, fighting through the trees,

I stumbled off the precipice.

I didn't have a place to fail.

So, I clung to the cliff face,

Until the pain made me pale.

My fingers lost their grip.

The numb descent left me limp

To the impact, lost and broken.

That was when the light found me,

Battered by the sea.

That was when the light found me,

Encouraged and gave me.

The strength to battle the tears.

I could finally scream, “I’m here.”

I could finally scream, "I'm here!"

[Chorus]

Dithering in the past

Couldn't possibly last.

Ruminating alone,

The dark waters took me whole.

With your light revealing land,

I finally found my way back.

From the sea that stole time,

I made it out alive.

[Outro]

You’re a lighthouse that found me,

Searched and searched for me,

Your glow pulling me from the depths,

Despite my descent.

I followed to land,

I followed it to land,

Where you stood and held me as I am.
