On the shore of thoughts that wreck in me
Seas subside; ache to awakening
Stripped of my useless reckoning mind
Forced to face bending time
I’m not scared, but I wish I was
Enough to fall and break what I've become
I've refused to open up my eyes
To see my gods are contrasting kinds
As they cast shadows in my mind
I saw hope shine with the rising tide
I’m not scared, but I wish I was
Enough to fall
And break what I've become
Down to blood, toe to toe with doubt
When I run, I'm not running out
I’m not running out

A ghost
You come and go
A black cloak
A phantom since the womb
a dark cloud on the open sea
Where'd you run to now,
or did you fall asleep?
And I thought you'd come around
But I fear it's too late
I fear it's too late
Your room
Don't you see it's growing cold?
Excuses grow exceedingly more old
Now all you seem to know
Is your beard filled with tobacco smoke
Now love disfigures me
to something I'm not recognizing
And I hoped you'd come around
But I fear it's too late
I fear it's too late
I swore you'd be hear now
But I fear it's too late
I fear it's too late

The sun always rises in the morning
But you're always leaving without a warning
It's cold when I'm sleeping all alone
At night in this house that I don't own
The sun's always setting in the evening
That's just about the time that you start your leaving
I'm so tired of praying that it's you
That I rest my eyes and hold onto

You go on and shut your door
You go on and fight your own war
Oh, you keep on running
Don't you, Anna?
But oh, I just keep coming
'Cause you're not gonna
You're just a ship with no rudder
You have to close your eyes when you go under
You refuse to recognize
The love that swells up in my eyes
I keep misreading the signs
Or maybe this love has stricken me blind
Oh, how much I've prayed for you, Anna
If you knew how far I've strayed, little Anna
