about

Not only does this song hold a great deal of emotional value, personally, but it is the most pivotal song of the record. The reflecting of the characters regrets, hopes, and fears as he is adrift at sea on a life raft.

lyrics

I have no hope, drifting in this small ship.
Because I have built my heart inside of it.
This heart lacks the strength and understanding,
to plug up the holes to keep from drowning.
So I'll prepare myself...for the coming tide.

Oh mother why didn't you warn me?
I know you did, but I guess I didn't listen.
So now we're stuck living like ghosts, made to disappear.
I tried to hold on but my wet hands rip and tear, they tear like paper, I fall apart like paper.
And I wish I was strong enough to keep my head up.
And I know I've been wrong, I try to keep my hands from shaking but I know it's not
enough, I know it's not enough, not to disappear.
I hold my hands they tear like paper, I fall apart like paper.

And I want to believe in something again.
And I want to know what it is to breathe easy again, I'm close to death.
Out to sea without a sail, I see the ghost of my father's failures, of my failures.
And I want to believe in something again.
And I want to know what it is, to breathe easy again. I want to believe In something again I
want to know what it is to breathe easy again, I'm close to death.

AndI wish I was strong enough to keep my head up.
And I know I've been wrong, I try to keep my hands from shaking but I know it's not
enough, I know it's not enough, not to disappear.
I hold my hands they tear like paper, I fall apart like paper.

(chorus): For the coming tide...now we’re stuck like ghosts made to disappear.

And I wish I was strong enough to keep my head up.
And I know I've been wrong, I try to keep my hands from shaking but I know it's not
enough, I know it's not enough, not to disappear.
I hold my hands they tear like paper, I fall apart like paper.

(chorus): For the coming tide...now we’re stuck like ghosts made to disappear
