The ebbing of the tide

Sirens scream, northern winds
Pull me back without defense
I smash against the rocks again
Shipwrecked, beaten down
Lost at sea with broken sounds
Calling me from all around.

So I give what I have left tonight
I give it all back without a fight
And I already lost my mind
So many times
I stand cold and hollowed eyed
Against the ebbing of the tide
Oh my, oh my
Against the ebbing of the tide.

Fear of how this will end
Analogies to help pretend
That this is art not
Incompetence
Straying from the simply put
Disguised with arrogance and hooks
For wahsed up faith and
Dirty looks.

So I give what I have left tonight
I give it all back without a fight
And I already lost my mind
So many times
I stand cold and hollowed eyed
Against the ebbing of the tide
Oh my, oh my
Against the ebbing of the tide.

Through these years (4x)

This is my
Last tragic embrace
My last reason to say
I'm getting over dramatic
But kinda like it that way
I feel so self absorbed
And it's embarrassing

When there's
No cause to believe.
Not as I'll ever see that
You'll hear these words
And that they'll mean anything
It's getting easy to laugh
It's getting harder to breathe

God I've got to
Stop drinking alone
Stop drinking alone
Yeah, I've got to
Stop drinking alone
Stop drinking alone.

Through these years (4x)
Against the ebbing of the tide.
