There was a darkness, that soothed me, and raised me up to dream 
in an abyss, those nightmares, they’re not what they seem 
they whispered of a world they’d known 
where every child was their own 
all the colours of an oil spill when moonlight hits the wave, I’ll save you all.

You’ve seen all the things that I’ve seen, you’ve been all the places I’ve been, my friend 
you know all the things that I know, well maybe not all but most so who cares who is better or worse than anyone? 
I’ve made mistakes along the way, but who said things should stay the same, I don’t agree 
the universe is filled with so “moray” new exciting things to sea, for you an me

you don’t need saving, you can save yourself 
you’re all so special from the inside out, 
Just take a second, look how far [bad word] 
I bet if the nightmares could see me now they’d say well done

well done, well done, well done daughter, daughter well done.

There was a darkness, that knew me, and raised me wild and strong 
so hated, and so feared was she, though fearful most of all 
she whispered of a hunger deep 
and as old as the bones beneath her meat 
all strange serenades and never sleeps yet never wakes, I’ll break your fall

you’ve done everything that you could, you feel like there’s something else you’re supposed to do 
who crossed that road, who burned that bridge, who fought that current and swam with the fish, was it you? 
I’ve lost a friend, I’ve gained a friend, what’s a friend mean but a means to an end? I tried my best with 
everyone I’ve ever loved ill outlive unless I can find where life inside me rests, it is my test

You don’t need saving, anymore, anymore 
but I’m still waving from a not-so-distant shore 
just take a second, look at what you’ll start 
I’m sorry that I couldn’t save you, from darkness inside your heart

your heart, your heart, your hardened heart, friend…
