In the Heart of The Sea - Stories From the Afterlife

Image
Based On: In the Heart of the Sea by Nathaniel Philbrick I knew exactly what I needed I knew exactly what to do I put on a brave face And proceeded to see things through First mate, so close to leading Set sail as soon as we saw the blue Put my faith in your decisions And they put theirs in mine too Oh can you hear the ocean beneath us Can you hear the roar of the dead trying to warn us "Don't go ahead don't let it blind you Not one not all of us could make it through" Made a mistake and now we're bleeding Out on the deck of the dawn Thirsty but I see a landing Second mate, we've made it this far Lost lives but we needed the food Say goodbye why aren't you leaving Followed me till the end of time I knew you were on hell of a demon Oh can you hear the ocean beneath us "Abandon ship"  is the last thing I needed Blinded by the sight of a thousand Fountains, I don't know if I'll live to see it again I almost lost hope Until we wal...

All's Fair in Love And War- Stories From the Afterlife

Image
Walk with me along the stone bridge Hold my cold hands in your fists Practice staying for longer than a minute I never knew how much it hurts to say goodbye first Admire the dancing smoke in the distance Make me promise to find happiness If you don't come back, somewhere else I'll never learn how much it hurts to say goodbye first Let go with a lingering timeless touch Vow to return before the Sun goes down in March I'll be waiting for you to fix my broken heart If not I'll have to live with all's fair in love and war I placed lilies at the stone above your head Kissed the ground three times, mud tangled in my hair I can still see the smoke pirouette in the distance I never knew how much it hurts to say goodbye forever Let go with a lingering timeless touch Vow to return before the Sun goes down in March I'll be waiting for you to fix my broken heart If not I'll have to live with all's fair in love and war Escape the earth just this one time ...

Resurrection- Stories From the Afterlife

I tuck you into bed As I say good night for the last time Ninety nine nights counting Is having one more a crime?  Why must we live like this With fear diffused into the air We breathe, for evermore Until it tears us apart Just close your eyes And pretend everything is fine Just keep your eyes On the prize All I have left Is my love for you And all that I hope Is enough to make it through Dirty skies and sharp rubble Don't fall you'll have to be careful Take my hand it's going to be fine Take my hand, tell me it's going to be fine No food for days We feed on the sounds That echo like we're in a cave Silence for just a few mouths Just close your eyes And pretend everything's fine Just keep your eyes On the prize All I have left Is my love for you And all that I hope Is enough to make it through Pardon me if I can't see The difference in the days I've been starring in a nightmare For what feels like a million plays Pardon me if I can't beli...

Haunted- Stories From the Afterlife

I walk into a room Sick from the pricey perfume The ball floor covered in drinks Don't splatter it won't matter if you shatter the glass Cold air, I see her in a dress The cold air doesn't seem to impress her You find me in my sleep  I'm haunted by your memories The " I like to be on my own" To the " I like you on the phone" To the" I wish to know you forever " I wish I knew forever didn't mean the same to you Now I walk into a room Wearing black for you How can I say goodbye When I'm not supposed to know you What shamelessly belonged to me Now lies in the ground making no sound You find me in my sleep  I'm haunted by your memories The " I like to be on my own" To the " I like you on the phone" To the" I wish to know you forever " I wish I knew forever didn't mean the same to you To see the ghost of you In the corner of every room You were my break of dawn But now you're long gon...
