Beyond the wake

Searching for answers to questions unasked
Oceans of light but shadows are cast
The candle flame lies unflinching then dies
I see much better without its light
The coldness of tide Frozen eyes wide
Searching for light in the darkest of night
Now I know now I understand
Never know 'til you find the truth you demand
Absence of reason to laugh or to cry
Web of confusion to live or to die
Questions flow right up to the line
But the answers all lie beyond the wake

Listen up now I've gotta secret for you
Wishes almost never come true
Whispers on the wind are a deaf man screaming
Screaming in hope of hearing himself
Hearing himself crying out
To no avail he'll scream and shout
The questions flow, make no mistake
But the answers all lie beyond the wake

Each wave is changing with a story to tell me
I never heard them but now I'm listening
Searching for answers to questions unasked
Oceans of light but shadows are cast
The candle flame lies unflinching then dies
I see you much better without its harsh light
When all seemed lost and I sought the truth
I was flooded with visions of you
The coldness of tide Frozen eyes wide
Searching for light in the darkest of night
Now I know now I understand
Never know 'til you find the truth you demand

Listen up now I've gotta secret for you
Wishes almost never come true
Whispers on the wind are a deaf man screaming
Screaming in hope of hearing himself
Hearing himself crying out
To no avail he'll scream and shout
The questions flow make no mistake
But the answers all lie beyond the wake

Now that I'm blind, I can ask why
Who am I, Why am I
Just like a dream I see your face
The answer was found beyond the wake
