LIGHTHOUSE! - Intellectual

[Chorus]

I choke on water, I drown

And I hope I find the lighthouse

Somewhere that I can lie down

So my soul can finally dry out

Every night I’m drifting, lost inside the sea I made

Waves of every memory crash and pull my hope away

Voices in the distance, whisper things I can’t escape

Telling me I’ll never heal, I’ll never see the break of day

Hands are shaking, heart is vacant, tied against the undertow

Breathing but it feels like evеry breath is just to let it go

I’ve been trying, I’vе been fighting, God, You know I’ve bled enough

Still I row in circles like a ghost who's never strong enough

I choke on water, I drown

And I hope I find the lighthouse

Somewhere that I can lie down

So my soul can finally dry out

Momma told me one day, “Son, the storm will finally clear”

But the storms don’t make a sound until they’re screaming in your ear

Every scar’s a compass, every wound a map to pain

But maybe they’re the reason I can navigate the rain

Broken glass beneath my feet, I walk across the ocean floor

Pieces of the boy I was are scattered on a distant shore

If I make it through the dark, I’ll be the proof that love survives

Even if I drown tonight, at least I tried to stay alive

I choke on water, I drown

And I hope I find the lighthouse

Somewhere that I can lie down

So my soul can finally dry out
