The Glass Horizon

[Intro]
[Verse]
The lighthouse stands alone
In walls of grey and stone
The ink begins to fade
Within this heavy shade
[Verse]
The salt is on my skin
Where do the ghosts begin?
The bell begins to toll
Inside my hollow soul
[Pre-Chorus]
I read the words you wrote
A single, haunting note
They keep me afloat
In a world so remote
[Chorus]
The waves are churning high
Beneath a leaden sky
I’m waiting for the day
To wash the dark away
Don’t let the fire die
Don’t let me say goodbye
[Interlude]
[Verse]
The brass begins to swell
Like ringing out a knell
The paper’s stained with brine
I trace every single line
The silence is a weight
A cruel and heavy fate
[Build-up]
But then the colors shift
I feel the curtain lift
A golden line appears
To dry away the tears
The sun begins to break
For every soul awake
[Chorus]
The waves are turning gold
The story can be told
The fog is drifting thin
Let all the light come in
The fire will not die
No need to say goodbye
[Bridge]
There’s a shadow on the rim
Growing less and less dim
A mast against the blue
Bringing me back to you
The horizon is clear
The end of the fear
[Post-Chorus]
The light is breaking through
The world is born anew
The ship is drawing near
The end of every fear
I see the white sail
Beyond the heavy veil
[Outro]
