Stranded

In effigy, we'll burn hotter than the brightest suns
Like them, distant was all that I could be

How do we go back to a time where no one felt real loss?
How do I invert the sands?
How can I stop the passing of these grains sifting right through you?

I could make beaches from the souls that I had lost along the way

I never meant to sever the links that made this liaison complete
Where will they be when I come back?
Let me just say, I had never thought to leave you for dead
I'm stranded by an island that I swam out to in hopes of supporting us all

I become a recluse when unsure of how I will provide for the ones I love

I could make beaches from the souls that I had lost
There's nothing left along the way
Will I find the soul you had lost?

I never meant to sever the links that made this liaison complete
Where will they be when I come back?
Let me just say, I had never thought to leave you for dead
I'm stranded by an island that I swam out to in hopes of supporting us all

Castles made from glass start as sand-made foundations formed by my hands
Mine's stained rose

Glass starts as sand-made foundations formed by my hand
Mine is stained
