Washed ashore, obscured by the tide
Shriveled hands clench forgotten lines.
Choking on the fragments eroded by the sea,
They’ll corrupt your thoughts
And leave you empty.
Did they break your head
And bury you deep in the sand?
Are you gasping for air
Or something genuine?
All the memories of another life
Couldn’t make you feel at home.
It’s too late, it’s too late,
Those dreams are drifting off.
It’s too late, it’s too late,
I wish I never woke up.
Did you close your eyes and
Swallow all that you can
Just to taste the salt
Lingering from the past?
The current will come and drown
All of your plans.
Until your fragile bones break
And you’re begging to go back.
The memories of another life
Couldn’t make you feel at home.
It’s too late, it’s too late,
Those dreams are all gone.
It’s too late, it’s too late,
I wish I never…
Take all that you have, before it drifts away.
Take all that you have, before it drifts away
Out to sea.
All the memories of another life
Couldn’t make you feel at home.
It’s too late, it’s too late,
Those dreams are all gone.
It’s too late, it’s too late,
Now we’ll never wake up.
And if I never wake up
Then I’ll never know I was dreaming.
Never to wake.
If I never wake up
Then I’ll never know I was dreaming.
Never to…

Bad News in Phoenix

Felt the warmth of summer’s end
Wrap me up and let me go.
Wandered through a familiar place
Colored in but left for cold.
Did we build up a maze to
Shield our thoughts of better days?
Bundle up, stumble through,
Find a wall and remember
For a moment you lost your way.
When it’s over you won’t know where you belong.
Here, it doesn’t feel the same as it did when you left.
Hurry up now or you’ll lose your worth.
Hurry up now and hang on to misspoken words.
Tear one off and scratch my head
What once was red is black instead.
Burn it up in the heat
Conceal the ash below your feet.
Did I lose the idea of youth,
Ripped away with band news.
Dig it up only to repeat,
Find that wall and remember.
For a moment you lost your way.
When it’s over you won’t know where you belong.
Here, it doesn’t feel the same as it did when you left.
Hurry up now or you’ll lose your worth.
Hurry up now and hang on to forgotten words.
Hurry up now or you’ll lose your worth.
Hurry up now or you’ll forget your words.
Now it’s over and you’ve lost your way,
You watched them leave you
Yet you still can’t walk away.

Tearing up the map
Into loose ends.
Staring at the marks
Wondering where they went.
Longing for what seems
Like a mystery.
Weathered spirits while
In bad company.
High hopes can’t last forever.
High hopes will only let you down.
Even though familiar faces change,
Even though good people drift away,
Forget their faults and sob stories.
Lift your eyes and sail up north.
Drifting off the tracks
Chasing frayed threads.
Glancing at the path
Harboring old regrets.
Lingering on events you can’t foresee,
Hollowed out and wandering
Stormy seas.
High hopes can’t last forever.
High hopes will only let you down.
Even though familiar faces change,
Even though good people slip away,
All along it was sob stories
That filled your sails and lead you astray.
How much can you swallow
Just to keep your head afloat?
How long will you stray on
A place beyond the empty shores?
How much can you swallow
Just to keep your head afloat?
How long will you stray on
A place beyond the empty shores?

Stand in for a vacancy,
Drawn with an urgency.
But the nights are dark and cold
And the lights fade undisclosed.
Out of time, and it’s over for you.
Out of time, and I claimed to know you.
Long off and we’ve changed.
Far off and now I’m rearranged.
Maybe my mind was somewhere out the door,
Maybe my life was never yours.
But the light has faded alone
While the night is all I long for.
Out of time…and it’s over for you.
Out of time…when did I know you?

All eyes watch from above
Perched upon thoughts that were lost.
Glass strings suspending our
Broken minds that are only losing touch.
Can’t find your thread
Slipping through my fingertips.
Waiting for a spark to strike
Watered down by electric cures.
Chiming clocks raise alarm
We missed the chance
By drinking up all of our guilt.
Can’t find the threads
Slipping through my fingers.
Can’t find the thread
It drifts beyond my grasp.
Caught between the seams,
Caught between the seams.
Looked away, closed my eyes
To catch a glimpse.
Turned a cheek on these memories
Now I can’t fall asleep.

Greet the Sea Seattle, Washington
Seattle native band, Greet the Sea, emerged in late 2015 as the culmination of sonic expression between four friends. Blending sweeping soundscapes, drum-heavy grooves, anthemic crescendos, and grounded melodic vocals the quartet’s sound is akin to their region of rainy weather, lush earthy colors, and foggy coastal highways. ... more
