The Lighthouse

11/11/2014

1. used to cast my light like a net on the sea
when i came around you would shimmer for me
now my spotlight might be something you dread
like a jailbird ducking away or running ahead

chorus
is it just me or is the fog rolling in thicker
cause what used to beam now only seems to be a flicker
i might look good, i might seem strong 
but you are wrong, i'm just stuck in the moss
tell me where should a lighthouse look when it's lost?

2. used to take each wave with a grain of salt
thought the price of love was the pain of assault
now when the wind howls, i tower, irate
at the owl and the moon that i imitate

repeat chorus

bridge
oh the brutal ache of phantom limbs
makes for futile shakes of your hands my friend
my armless body's head just spins
jealous of the seagulls glide
search for days less tall, more wide
oh a glow is just a glare with too much pride to die

repeat chorus
