I remember the silent blue skies
An albatross with an eagle eye
The green forest that turned black at night
My coastal home I painted black and white
I lost all the names I knew last night
The faces of people I designed
Surging from a poet's dreams to life
Memories of past lives slip from sight
I wasn't meant to live this way
Lost in green and escapades
My heart is pure, but I'm betrayed
No telling where I'll die today
Every day and night I wander
Speaking tongues that split asunder
Roaming like a brain dead child
I'm the one they say was never wild
Through the dawn my cry carries on
Amnesty is never granted for long
My punishment is cruel, but I've no crime
Separated from the love of my life
Declaring a state of emergency
There won't be a resurgent me
I live for once till I fall down
I once was lost but then you found
Every day and night I wander
Speaking tongues that split asunder
Roaming like a brain dead child
I'm the one they say was never wild
Every single new encounter
Someone claims I am the founder
A reckoning, a force so vile
But heaven knows I was never wild
Please forgive my sins
Just let me in
Open the door
To the shore
My pounding heart
Is sending sparks
All over the sands
My drifting dreams
Tear at the seams
Stain my hands
With tearing eyes
I realize
It's no new soil
Not leverage
But average
It's how we toil
I spent my years
Without my fears
But now they're back
Someone special
And beautiful
Has turned to black
I'm floating on
My regret gone
No pain I feel
So far from here
I left my tears
They don't seem real
No more inland
The seashore's sand
Is in my reach
The water's warm
No sight of storm
But I'm still beached
I've done away
With all the pain
I've reconciled
I'm resting calm
Life in my palm
Still never wild
