[Verse 1: Zach Quinn]

Garbed in misery

A mirror of my world

Vomit still speckles my bib

Lowly imps of pity swarm

Like buzzards in the sun

To lull me to sleep in my crib

I dream of you

And then I dream of something else

I lust to be lustful once more

Recounting failures

I have failed once again

The kismet I cannot ignore

[Pre-Chorus: Zach Quinn]

Inside of this crater I have combed for days

For any small sliver

Moments looped, replayed

[Chorus: Zach Quinn]

I wanted to save you

I haven't the strength to save us both

I long to be near you

Your ship is now miles out from my coast

I still get your messages

No flickers of light will bring you back

What was almost blinding fades slowly to black

[Verse 2: Zach Quinn]

Alone, confused, with a body I abused

Silenced by a monster in my place

Defeat, passenger seat

Driver steals my voice and wears my face

[Chorus: Zach Quinn]

I wanted to save you

I haven't the strength to save us both

I long to be near you

Your ship is now miles out from my coast

I still get your messages

They're useless but mean the world to me

Recalling my mother

Smiling down at the proud little boy I used to be

[Outro: Zach Quinn]

This river runs higher

To all I've ever desired

I washed up on purpose

Drowning on the surface

In envy of what he became

A dying green star
