The Atlantic

(album: Grizzly Peak - 2021)

You've gone off into battle
With nothing but blistering rage
Was looking for something to rattle
Got nowhere beyond this cage

My eyes can't see the handle
It's fallen off of the door
I know that it's just a shadow
Of something that came before

I see right through this mantle
I still believe in you
I see right through this mantle
I'm looking at the distance between

As you were standing there across
The Atlantic Ocean
We couldn't find a way across
The Atlantic Ocean

It keeps us in a state
Of thinking we're always wanting
For something that can't be had
The space that it leaves is haunting
I thought I knew the balance
But most of it lies out of frame
I kept all the paint in the attic
The walls haven't gone opaque

I'm looking for a way through
I still believe in you
I see right through this mantle
I'm looking at the distance between

As you were standing there across
The Atlantic Ocean
We couldn't find a way across
The Atlantic Ocean
As we were standing there across
The Atlantic Ocean
We couldn't find our way across
The Atlantic Ocean
The Atlantic Ocean

I've always seen right through this
I've always seen right through this
I've always seen right through this
I've always seen right through this

I know there's another way
But I don't think I can see it
It must be about to change
But not everyone believes
We're going through (I've always) another phase
(Seen right through this) But I don't think I can feel it
We know (I've always) it's about to change
(Seen right through this) but not everyone believes it
