A Year Underwater (new lyrics)

One thousand days beyond the sun

Bodies warm, hearts growing numb

Through mist and shadow, cloud and shade

We're falling fast to the ends we've made

Empty jars lie on windowsills

In fading sun, gathering dust

A year underwater hasn't drowned my will

But my confidence fails at a touch

And this place has never been my home

And here my balance is fragile

But how can you believe you're alone

And forget we're entangled?

When will we be here again

At this crossroads of summer tides

I fear that this is the end

The end of a life full of lies

Now face to face

We're inverted

Through time and space

We come alive

And someday soon

We'll be unburdened

If our planets align

Through streetlights and bonfires

And whispers of storms

I've held her up

I've kept her warm

Memories once bright

Now grey and dim

Pressure constricting, I hold myself in

When will we be here again

At this crossroads of summer tides

I fear that this is the end

The end of a life full of lies

This time there's no turning back

All barriers and bridges collapse

No secret left to betray

Confess, repent for judgment day

And fall into place

Close your eyes, cross my fingers

Shed this disgrace

Place your hand on my heart

Run through these veins

With this page as my witness

Feel this embrace

You are mine

Victory is ours

When will we be here again

At this crossroads of summer tides

I fear that this is the end

The end of a life full of lies

When will we be here again

At this crossroads of summer tides

I fear that this is the end

The end of a life full of lies
