lyrics

"The Current"

Tears flow in the winter snow,
I never meant to be this way
Broken man with his heart in his hand,
Like he's never seen the light of day
There's no more wishing on a star, for me
Only a seasick elegy

The current flows one direction,
Never turning back the tide,
We all can see what lies ahead of us,
But we never wanna die

Slow flame when summer came,
You couldn't bear to see my face,
Deep wells the toll of the bell,
You knew the wind would
blow me away,
There's someone wishing
on a star, someplace,
I'm not the one in your embrace

The current flows one direction,
Never turning back the tide,
We all can see what lies ahead of us,
But we never wanna die

Turn the lens you will
reveal the sorrow,
In the cracks you're gonna find the pain,
In the end there's not a new tomorrow,
Will you ever stake your claim?

The current flows one direction,
Never turning back the tide,
We all can see what lies ahead of us,
But we never wanna die

Are the winds still in your favor?
You're left adrift upon your soul,
Will you win or will you sink below?
I know you have control
