lyrics

Every time the siren calls and I'm finding my way from home
Carrying all the weight of lives in the fog of a dream alone
Soul aside and memories drive me on in search of rhyme
I raise myself to southern skies and call on the sun to shine

We're living down these years like a shadow that’s lengthened away
but the memories are comforting somehow

No regrets and no remorse in the shadow of such a time
The only thing to care about now is who will get left behind
Desperate nights and solemn days in the tone of a wailing ode
Cast my sounds out to the sky to return from whence they go

We hide behind a veil of the sorrow long after we go
but the memories are comforting somehow

We hide behind a veil of the sorrow long after we go
but the memories are comforting somehow
but the memories are comforting for now
