Lights At Bay

I hear your voice on the current
Seeping through the cracks in the hull
Can't find a port in this storm
But I'm sheltered and warm
Squinting in the glow
Is it a beacon of hope
Or trust a flame I really don't know
But against this tower of light
I can make out a vessel
On it's way
To you

I wonder what my dad really thinks
When I air our business out in a blink
I ain't thought about it twice
Let alone worry 'bout the cosequence
Shoot first
Think second
Always been my way to tackle this 'cause
Truth hurts
It's stressing
Always knew what I would think of it
But it's not even about that anymore
I just don't want it to be like it was before
So I'm trying real hard not to point fingers
Hoping I can leave the drugs by the door
And never ever mention them again
Even though I know you're still using
You rather see your soon blind
Let's try the sure way fine

I hear your voice on the current
Seeping through the cracks in the hull
Can't find a port in this storm
But I'm sheltered and warm
Squinting in the glow
Is it a beacon of hope
Or trust a flame I really don't know
But against this tower of light
I can make out a vessel
On it's way
To you

I don't think I have your number
We barely even speak when we see each other
I think we both on a guilt trip
At least I know that I am, my cover
Has always been to keep it at a distance
So far away as possible
But if it makes any difference
I hope we can jump this obstacle
That has been our lives
All the ups and downs and ins and outs
Remember when you sent me all those letters
I'm thinking I should read some now
To better understand what you felt locked up in a four by four of a cell
With two kids on the outside
Me, I would have gone out my mind

I hear your voice on the current
Seeping through the cracks in the hull
Can't find a port in this storm
But I'm sheltered and warm
Squinting in the glow
Is it a beacon of hope
Or trust a flame I really don't know
But against this tower of light
I can make out a vessel
On it's way
To you

Maybe this is overdue
Or is it better not to
'Cause I don't need to get reminded
I just want to put it behind me
And think about what I miss
And right now that's a mist
So I couldn't really tell you
If you would ever ask me it
But you would never ask me shit
You would never ask me shit
You would never ask
