Undercurrent

Today I watched a day go sailing by
A look of longing in tomorrow's eyes
For yesterday

I chased it desperately at anchor speed
And let my rudder tangle in the weeds
Then night fell on the sea
And my ship sank

The stars are swept out of their place
And I just watch them flee
It's like the heavens rushing over me
I'm gone, I'm gone
I'm gonna find my way from this
Undercurrent

Time like a torrent starts to pour
Faster than I can see
I feel my shadows catching up to me
I'm gone, I'm gone
I'm gonna find my way from this
Undercurrent

Do you feel time pull like the undertow?
The dread of everything that dwells below?
It's bottomless

I see the lights from where I want to be
I feel the gravity that still impedes
But just you wait and see
I'll cut through it

The stars are swept out of their place
And I just watch them flee
It's like the heavens rushing over me
I'm gone, I'm gone
I'm gonna find my way from this
Undercurrent

Time like a torrent starts to pour
Faster than I can see
I feel my shadows catching up to me
I'm gone, I'm gone
I'm gonna find my way from this
Undercurrent

You took the anchor's bait
Clinging on to doubt's dead weight
You could have walked on waves

The stars are swept out of their place
While I just watch them flee
It's like the heavens rushing over me
I'm gone, I'm gone
I'm gonna find my way from this
Undercurrent

Time like a torrent starts to pour
Faster than I can see
I feel the shadows catching up to me
I'm gone, I'm gone
I'm gonna find my way from this
Undercurrent
