lyrics

I was waiting for the storm to break
In an ocean punctured by snake-tongue lightning
Layers of fossils underneath the surface
Marking aeons thicker than the unreachable depths within your mind

Leather wings pierce the marbled sky
Vs in funeral black signify no way back
Too few lifeboats to cope with all transmissions
From the water teeming with the drowning and the overwhelmed

When it seems as though I'll never win
Polar light growing fainter
When the doubts they permeate my skin
Be my serotonin

Thought that I could navigate the planet
Before being overcome by equilibrium
Instead I'm drifting closer to the threshold
Will I plunge into space in a universe that science has turned its back upon

When it seems as though I'll never win
Polar light growing fainter
When the doubts they permeate my skin
Be my serotonin
Be my serotonin

Even in the grip of uncertainty
I know that you can be the polar light for me
Even in the downward slide to insanity

When it seems as though I'll never win
Polar light growing fainter
When the doubts they permeate my skin
When it seems as though I'll never win
Polar light growing fainter
When the doubts they permeate my skin
