Unfathomable sea, could you please pull us together

Would you kindly direct your currents and tides and draw each of us to each others sides

Haven't you heard of forever

Our love is transient at best

Because it’s on the precarious cliffs of pride and fear

That we attempt to build our nests

Ineffable unity, you're a foreign concept to the land-locked state of empire

And unrecognisable has become the sight

Of the shorelines beckoning desire

We don't know how to swim

We’ve forgotten the stokes that could help keep us afloat

Maybe it's because we're too busy holding on to all we own

Cutting the circulation to our limbs

Surrender to me

Surrender to the sea

We're all just leaking vessels tossed to and fro

On every wave as we're cast as lots

So let our fingers intertwine as the water wraps your arms around mine

And we'll be free

To fall down into the depths of grace

The deeper I go the greater the chasm of unknowing becomes

But it's a liberating darkness to my intellect that my soul it welcomes

As sunshine floods my heart and face

Could you please pull us together

We can brave the storms and whether or not you hold my hand

I'll still grasp you tightly in my prayers

Lets put our faith in the ocean

Lets put our hope in forever

And hold fast to the mast of our love

As it keeps aloft the blustering sails of our family

They’re tattered and torn, but sewn together ever so tightly

Forget your past and set your eyes above

Surrender to me

Surrender not to the seeing and believing faithless mindset

That says if it’s not visible then it's fake

Or at least a well kept secret

Well this ship’s moving forward and as surely as breath fills the canvas

And our family's propelled onward

It's the wind I cannot see

So watch all our seeking vessels tossed to and fro

On every wave as we're cast as lots

And let our fingers intertwine as the water wraps your arms around mine

And we’ll be free

But you never told me about the feather

You collected it from me on the beach that blissful day

When I gave up my rights to fly away

Even when it gets messy and I have to sleep out on the deck

So our brothers can have a place to say

Your hands are as tough as leather

Weathered by the sea

And they held my escape loosely yet carefully to your chest

Tender and soft, but still held

But I couldn't tear away if I tried

And by the time I realised that by choosing my friends lives over mine

The more alive the more I died

I'd still had my wings this entire time

So come lets build our nest in the cliffs

Still unsafe, but oh so good

Drawing us together like the many sticks and twine and pain and ecstasy and

Hopefully the sea takes us all

Though we are drops oh so small

But I know there's rest on the oceans bed

So lets cling to this anchor of abandoned trust

And ride this one way elevator to the bottom

And I swear there'll be a place to lay down you weary head

Surrender to me

Say your goodbyes to the surface

We won't be coming up for air for a while

You see I've found a home in the sea

And sinking's the only thing on my mind these days

I've even fashioned a millstone for a necklace

You see we're all just leaking vessels tossed to and fro

On every wave as we're cast as lots

So let our fingers intertwine as the water wraps your arms around mine

And we'll be fine
