Atlas

My life is a weathered down shipwreck

Splitting at the seams

held together by memories and dreams

Every face I have seen

a stitch on my mind

On a shadow of a dream

of a dream.

And my heart is its cargo

a worn out old thing

Been dragged around this rock more times than you'd believe

To the east I call home

But the west

she is calling

From the north

to the south.

Forever I'm drifting away

With more hope than fear

Put your head to my chest and you will hear…

The sound of it beating

Is the sound of love leaving

The sound of it beating

Is the sound of the emptiness flooding in.

Flooding in…

Flooding in…

It's the sound of the emptiness flooding in.

My life

it aches

My heart

it breaks

And I can't shake the feeling all I am is sinking.

Where one thousand eyes stare back at me

But the ones that I'd die for are the ones who can't see.

One thousand eyes staring back at me

But the ones that I'd die for are the ones who can't see.

Flooding in…

Flooding in…

Flooding in…

It's the sound of the emptiness.
