Underwater.

Can you see
This canopy of diamonds
City lights that feel wild,
Washing us steadily ashore.

Here we are
Anchored by our bones,
Mossy feet slipping underneath,
Dancing across a wreckage we own.

Closer by the wave,
Away from our shores,
Your calm before my stormy sea.
Your nature before my calamity.

Giving In. Giving Up.

A fleeting memory she was to you
You said,
And I gave in again
Somewhere a broken bridge
Still burns
And you turn and walk away

What will become
And who am I, to start this?
What will become
And where are we going to end?

Remembering the storms she was
You hurt,
And I give in again
Somewhere a broken heart
Still remains
With fragments of the pain

What will become
And who am I to stay here?
What will become
And why did we even begin?

A fleeting memory I’ll be to you,
They say,
And we give in again
Somewhere a broken dream
Will burn
As we turn and walk away

What will become
And who am I to you?
What will become
Of what never came true?
Will there be a forever
In another life
Or will we find each other
Within this sphere of time?

Somewhere a broken bridge
Still burns
Somewhere, you turn...

Inertia.

Maybe it’s just a phase
Or maybe it’s for real
The heart just wants what it wants
Maybe it’s just enough
To let the pieces fall away
But I cannot bear the thought

Now we’re flying clocks
We’re ticking bombs
Waiting for something to stop us
And we’re falling stars
Chasing hopeless hours
Tearing at each other’s faults

Inertia carries us forth
So can you be my external force?

Maybe it was the place
Or how we made us feel
Hearts, they don’t know what they really want
How can it be the end
When we’re still right at the start
I still cannot bear the thought

Now we’re flying clocks
We’re exploding like bombs
Waiting for something to stop our faults

Inertia carries us forth
So can you be my external force?

I don't know where you've gone
Or what went wrong
All I know is I'm not the one
Who can stop us from falling
Or see where this is going,
I'm blindly holding on

Now we’re flying clocks
We’re ticking away like bombs
Waiting for something to stop us
And we’re falling stars
Chasing hopeless hours
Tearing at each other’s faults

Inertia carries us forth
So can you be my external force?
Can you be my eternal force?
So inertia can carry us forth.
