Lyrics from the Deep Blue Sea EP

Deep Blue Sea

The waves came rushing with a giant force. They took him back to the source. They took him back to the source. We’re ruled by an endless force. The vastness of the sea, towed him away from me. Pulled him to the ocean bed. Inside of me sorrow spread. Heart is heavy. Heart is beating. Heart is screaming. Heart is bleeding. I kept on crawling to the sea. Begging “give him back to me” . Screaming “please please”. Begging “please”. I still can see the deep blue sea. But I’m left with the memory of him and me. I’m so unlucky, I can’t breathe. I’m so unlucky I can’t breathe. Heart is heavy. Heart is beating. Heart is screaming. Heart is bleeding. When she laid him on her ocean bed, I wasn’t prepared to be the one who’s left. In the darkest blue he lies in rest. But my heart is beating in my chest. I’m asking why is it so hard, to accept the nature of our hearts. They all stop beating when their time has come and the rest of us need to go on. Yesterday, so beautiful. We thought it was magical. Today she showed how mighty she can be.In a glimpse, she took everything away from me. The deep blue sea took him away from me. The deep blue sea took him away from me. The deep blue sea took him away from me. The deep blue sea took him away from me. The deep blue sea took him away from me.

Like a wolf

When love was lost. The heart paid all the cost. So the heart howls like a wolf into the great night with all its might. When love couldn’t be found. Darkness came around. So the heart howls like a wolf in the the moonlight with all its might. When love was gone. The heart had nothing to hold on. So the heart howls like a wolf into the great night with all its might. When love left the heart with emptiness in the size of sheer endlessness, the heart dried out. When the heart had hunger for some tenderness, love showed its carelessness and the heart dried out. So the heart howls like a wolf in the the moonlight with all its hope and all its might. The heart howls like a wolf in the the moonlight with all its hope and all its might. The heart howls like a wolf.

Shadow

I know his face. I know his shape. He’s dark and he keeps all my pain. He whispers in my ear. He reminds me of my fears. He’s holding on to the blame. He canned and stored all my shame. He feels like a shackle around my feet, that I need to drag down the street. Oh shadow you’re so hard to fight. I may never see the light. But today I fight with all my might. I choose the light. I’m going to turn my shadow to the light. I’m going to turn my shadow to the light. I’m going to turn my shadow to the light. I’m going to turn my shadow to the light. Well it’s hard to live in the dark. Trying to find something that that lights my spark. Trying to lift the veil wrapped around my eyes. Well the shadow is laughing and I pay the price. He’s hungry and he loves to be fed. He feeds on insecurities and gets into my head. His voice always lingers on my mind. He sounds so nasty and unkind. Oh shadow you’re so hard to fight. I may never see the light. But today I fight with all my might. I choose the light. I’m going to turn my shadow to the light. I’m going to turn my shadow to the light. I’m going to turn my shadow to the light. I’m going to turn my shadow to the light. I let my light shine so bright, it almost burns his eyes. I let my light shine so bright, it almost burns his eyes. I’m going to turn my shadow to the light. I’m going to turn my shadow to the light.

The Haze

Slowly the haze is crawling to the shore. The water moves calm, the seagulls soared. The moon is hidden behind a sky full of clouds. A quiet wind, the silence is loud. Slowly the haze swallows land and sea. Bleak silhouettes of waving trees. The dunes disappear in this gloomy white. Soon I feIt left this earth behind. I left this earth behind. I left this earth behind. I left this earth behind. Softly through the haze something is calling my name. Somewhere from a far the unknown claims “leave this place you’ve lost it to the haze, leave this place you’ve lost it to the haze”.  You’ve  lost it to the haze. You’ve lost it to the haze. You’ve lost it to the haze. But there is wind in my chest. But there is wind in my chest. But there is wind in my chest. But there is wind in my chest. Wind in my chest. Wind in my chest. Wind in my chest. But there is wind in my chest. Wind in my chest. Wind in my chest. Wind in my chest. Wind in my chest. Wind in my chest.

Water

Let the water wash over me. Let it wash away all my needs. Let it grind my heart of stone. Lift the weight off my bones. You shape the hard and massive with your soft and yielding powers. Sweep away yesterdays ashes, shift earths crust with your showers. You cut ravines through high plains. Slice your way through a mountain range. Like blood that mines its own veins. For you the only constant is change. I can’t build you a shrine. I can’t pray before your image. You can’t be turned into wine. You’re the principle without limits. So I lay down in you, like in my mother’s womb. And I hope that you let your water wash over me. Let it wash away all my needs. Let it grind my heart of stone. Lift the weight off my bones. You smooth the rugged and rough with your mighty streams and rivers. You give life to us, when land is dried out you’re its saviour. You bring out the scents of green fields, yours a mystery to me. I’ve no words for your taste and color but to your powers, I will yield. I can’t build you a shrine. I can’t pray before your image. You can’t be turned into wine. You’re the principle without limits. So, I lay down in you, like in my mother’s womb. And I hope that you let your water wash over me. Let it wash away all my needs. Let it grind my heart of stone. Lift the weight off my bones.
