Our Mire

(album: Versions Of The Truth - 2020)

I didn't want to wake up
I didn't wake up intending to slide
Into our mire

I didn't want to wake up
I didn't want to wake up now
I didn't want to see our ship
Going down

I have all the time for this
Every second more
To keep our heads above water
That's what we were for
Half a second is all you were given for
This our final call
Is that was I was for?

I didn't want to wake up
I didn't want to wake up now
I didn't want to see our ship
Going down

When you stumble on
It's someone you're looking for
To push away the tide
That's what we were for
When we stumbled on
Just what we were looking for
To spend our days with you
That's what we were for

You think I was in on it?
You think I ignored the warning signs?
All I could see was the glistening of the wake we left behind
The first to jump this ship will be the first to stay alive
Go down with this ship to stay alive

I didn't want to wake up
I didn't want to wake up now
I didn't want to see our ship
Going down

Kneeling on this shore
Looking down
We are face to face
Into the ground
Wherever you are
Wherever you ran aground
I know it broke our hearts when our ship went down
