The Shore


The years have created a ring round you

A tidal wave of what didn’t go right

If you’re tired from the world’s weight

Let your soul rest a while with mine

We hold hands into the abyss of filth

And I protect you with my heart

Your being has succumbed to the struggle

And I’m exhausted from this path

Our roads will forever be intertwined

And I will never let you slip

But my love, let’s sit down a while

I think I’m starting to lose my grip

The nights I have been angry with God

Our peace nestled under street lamps

This roller-coaster is built on trust 

But all I do is prepare for when we can’t

I've failed you so many times

But you’ve hurt me for more  

It's time to swim away, please let me drown

For my demons are waiting on the shore
