Awash

from Our Timing by Censor Static

lyrics

Take my time on the gravel road
winding through the twisted oak.
I'm too far now to turn around,
like a bird I'm beckoned back down South
to the setting sun on a beach I call my home.

Sunrise fields, a cherry red,
words I've thought but never said.
My mind is on the coast, on the horizon line;
the ocean we were born in is the same place we all go to die.

Tear the sky at the seams,
see that time is just stuck between the blue and green -
and it means nothing at all.
We will meet at the sea,
have a smoke and then we'll joke about all of our dreams -
how they meant nothing at all.

After all the places I have been,
the time has come to shed this skin.
But I will not atone, for I am not alone,
and we have a pact to do it all again.

I hear that we're defined by the ones we leave behind.
Well, I've abandoned many hearts, and marks left to remind
girls of what they've meant to me, and men of what they should've seen,
and mankind what it should have been.

To love and lose, to live and learn -
no, never love, just live and turn
to broken bones, unravel knots,
sundown barefoot from the dock.
And we, children born of the sea,
have had our time, we've lived our lives.
Set sail, set free. Awash, we bleed.

We whisper to our moms and dads,
they've long been gone, but I'll raise a glass
and sing three cheers for twenty years,
next time, hope to face our fears.
Maybe see each other growing old.
Our hearts are warm, but the water's cold.

The water's cold.
