The Earth and I - The Hollow Deluge
текст песни

I stand before the most cloudy of waters.
I survey the scene with reserved apprehension.
There’s something not right here, like I’ve been here before.
It’s strangely familiar.
It’s almost uncomfortably comfortable.

Perhaps it will be fine to feel at home here,
hands immersed in oceans without floors,
tracing glass with absent fingertips.

One kiss separates us from our latency.
Words collide, repeat, subside, give way to better things.
The water recedes and all that she reads is torn
away, away.

Perhaps it will be fine to feel at home here,
hands immersed in oceans without floors.
With every shortened breath, I explore the further depths,
reaching out towards the furthest shores.

A heart is not a fragile thing,
to break a heart is not an easy thing.

Through your silver tears, I will comfort you,
take you by the hand, lead you home as best I can.

As the days wear thin, under cloudy skies,
we will stretch them out, fill them up as best as we know how.

When the last train home lets its whistle blow,
You’ll be left behind to combat the rising tide.

Through your silver tears, I will comfort you,
chase away your fears, lead you home
through the hollow deluge.
