Lyrics written by Sean Tillmann

I used to turn a phrase then burn the page
The winds caught the embers and carried away
The things I’m not allowed to say
And as the fires rage I spiral in shame
So where my hopes and daydreams used to hang
They sunk a little lower and wasted away
Now looking back at my own face
Peekin’ out of the ripples and through the waves

As we watched before it all wash ashore
How life could be so plain
Without one last inch a-fallin’
Where’s the rain? Hey hey
Always one boat short with no witty retort to come save us all
In the end it’ll take a pen
Our common ground
While we drown, Oh

Take the helm as I write myself into the bottom bargain basement shelf

Now looking back I built myself a cage
And all these years later I’m walking away
I’m moving on with just this song
In a broken tape deck that only replays
And as I watched the coastline fade from sight
I laughed at the metaphor of my whole life
The world’s my own depression light
My words became my curse I could never rewrite
