Black Cross:Gift To The Sea
From Louisville Punk/Hardcore History
GIFT TO THE SEA lyrics copyright Rob Pennington
wide eyed and sleep not falling
night room crawls on forever
still breaks from waves of sadness
dark days and no one's calling
one drink, one sleep for passage
ensures a slow return
one call to beg for portage
would sink this ship for sure
lives die in what seems like moments
tomorrow you're someone else
one beast dissolves to angel
one mountain falls to dust
hours are years from home
sunset brings relief
routines can fill the spaces
deny this grief
swallow me
embrace me in the salt of days
let me down
take me to a window
so I can see
take me to a window
so I can breathe
one hope for solace
for reckoning
beyond this vast place
beyond this mind
