Tangle

(album: Islands Apart - 2016)

In the forest through the trees
I pray for rain to still the beat
Shadows race across my skin
Looking out, looking in

A bud, a flower, leaf, the tree
A rose, a thorn, a prick on skin
A cloud, a drop, the rain, a stream
A river, lake, a wave, the sea

Avert your eyes
Or look straight into the light
Eternal tides
Pulling us
Every night
From the dreams
Adrift in the sea

Winters come to pierce my eyes
I cannot sleep, I cannot rise
Blinded by a creatures way
Ablaze I float into the haze

Avert your eyes
Or look straight into the light
Eternal tides
Pulling us
Every night
From the dreams
Adrift in the sea

Avert your eyes
Or look straight into the light
Eternal tides
Pulling us
Every night
From the dreams
Adrift in the sea
