My life is a weathered down shipwreck
Splitting at the seams, held together by memories and dreams.
Every face I have seen, a stitch on my mind,
On a shadow of a dream.
And my heart is a cargo, a worn out old thing,
Been dragged around this rock more times than you'd believe.
To the east I call home
But the west, she is calling.
From the north to the south
Forever I'm drifting away
With more hope than fear.
Put your head to my chest and you will hear,
The sound of its beating
Is the sound of love leaving,
The sound of its beating
Is the sound of the emptiness flooding in,
Flooding in,
It's the sound of the emptiness flooding in.
And my life, it aches,
And my heart, it breaks,
And I just can't shake the feeling all I am is sinking
While one thousand eyes stare back at me
But the ones that I'd die for are the ones I can't see
Flooding in,
It's the sound of the emptiness…
