calm songs never keep me home long
i can never satisfy my tides
'cause it's gone, each and every peak on which
i used to perch when there was more than sky
i can't be another section of the family plot
i need release
'cause somehow, even with the floods drowned
i can only starve while you plan your feasts
too often i looked away in the summer
till nothing came at all
father, we led you to water
but you only begged for the heat to cease
i never meant to be a burden
so you made me out to be the beast
too often i looked away in the summer
till nothing came at all
too often i looked away in the summer
now i can't care at all
at all
