(Verse 1) Thirteen years, I can see it in my head A ghost that shares my table and sleeps beside my bed I loved you with a fire that I thought would never fade But I was the coming storm cloud, the promise of the rain The darkness had a hold, a grip I couldn't fight Depression stole the color and bled away the light I left you in the open, with no safety from the storm And couldn't find the words to say why you weren't safe and warm (Chorus) My good thoughts all abandoned me, like rats from a sinking ship A mutiny of reason on my tongue and on my lip I was sailing sure and certain for the jagged rocks ahead Ignoring all the warnings, believing lies instead I left your hopes all shattered, a ship broken on the shore Because a part of me was broken and just kept wanting more (Verse 2) You asked me for some distance, you gave me room to breathe A chance to sort the wreckage, a moment of reprieve But I just doubled down on it, creating so much stress I wrapped myself in chaos, and reveled in the mess I wasn't looking for a cure, or a lifeline to be thrown I wanted more pain, more strain, more madness of my own Headed for the bottom, the crushing, silent deep Where promises are broken, and the sea its secrets keep (Chorus) My good thoughts all abandoned me, like rats from a sinking ship A mutiny of reason on my tongue and on my lip I was sailing sure and certain for the jagged rocks ahead Ignoring all the warnings, believing lies instead I left your hopes all shattered, a ship broken on the shore Because a part of me was broken and just kept wanting more (Bridge) And when I hit the bottom, where the light could not descend I thought for sure that this was it, the bitter, lonely end But in that silent pressure, something I forgot I had A strength inside so fiery bright, it burned away the bad I wasn't going to lay down and let the ocean win A fight for my own survival was about to begin (Guitar Solo) (Outro) I began to kick and whale, swam my way up to the top All around was the broken sound of a vessel that had snapped I can't fix what I broke back there, I know that this is true The wreckage of our love is lost beneath the waves and through But I'll keep on kicking forwards, with the sun upon my back There's a whole wide ocean waiting, and I'm not looking back No, I'm moving on and forward On top of the deep wide blue. Yeah, on top of the deep wide blue.
