LYRICS:

PART 1
As I wake up,
In this bruising light.
I will look around,
These confusing sights.

Each step and step,
The visions rewind.
That blurry haze,
It clears and reminds.

And here it goes,
The sandglass turns.
With present past,
Each grain it burns.

I seek the signs,
From courageous minds,
And soon I’ll know,
How this path unfolds.

When there’s time there’s hope.
When there’s hope there’s time.
And I’ll dare, I’ll dare, 
Dare….

. 
PART 2
Verse 1:
It was 4 in the morning,
In the blistering cold.
I’ll be up like a headstone,
I’ll be covered in gold.

In the eyes of Ma’at,
With my riches in tow.
She’ll be front seat driving,
But with nowhere to go.

Chorus:
You’ll drain your shoal.
It takes its toll.

Verse 2:
As we walk in the stadium,
As we walk in the rain.
There’ll be spotlights flashing,
They’ll illuminate my pain.

With the cards all laid out,
For this Judgement Day.
I’ll be ready for the sentence,
You’ll be ready to slay.

Chorus 2:
You’ve drained your shoal.
It took its toll.

.
PART 3
Verse 1:
We’ll set ourselves up to fail.
We’ll think with flawed thoughts to no avail.
And it’s a long time, to carry that strain, 
Oh it’s a long time, a long time.

Verse 2:
With sleight of hand we’ll falsely believe.
We’re split and parted with little achieved.
And it’s a long time, to carry that load, 
Oh it’s a long time, a long time.

Chorus:
The gates are closing.
The Gods stopped watching.
And fear not the course we’re on,
We’ll sit still, in silent song.

You’ll plead with blindness,
You’ll plead with blind….blindness.
 
.
PART 4
Verse 1:
They say it’s a low fall,
Jump and then see.
You’ve tried for a lifetime,
But it’s just too steep.

And now you’re feeling tired,
Just go to sleep.
They ask what you long for?
You struggle to speak.

Verse 2:
And live with those closed eyes,
You battle to see.
Just wait ‘til they open,
You’ll long to sleep.

Just look in the mirror,
Is that a book you’ve read?
Is it a happy ending?

.
PART 5
Verse 1:
You look like a solider,
All battled and scarred.
With wounds on the inside,
They’ll cut through your guard.

Verse 2:
The truth it is aching,
And it’s here to stay.
The one’s who care they ask,
“Have you been okay?”

Verse 3:
I haven’t in A Long Time,
I haven’t in A Long Time,
I haven’t in A Long Time,
I haven’t for…
A Long, Long, Time.

Verse 4:
You haven’t in A Long Time.
You didn’t in a past life.
You hid it behind your eyes.
You threw it on a burning fire.

You haven’t in A Long Time.
You didn’t in a past life.
You hid it behind your eyes.
You threw it on a burning fire.

Verse 5:
I hid it out in plain sight,
I couldn’t keep it disguised.
You didn’t need an invite,
To see I wasn’t alright.

Verse 6:
I haven’t in A Long Time,
I haven’t in A Long Time,
I haven’t in A Long Time,
I haven’t for…
A Long, Long, Time.

A LONG TIME

I started writing this song shortly after watching the latest Studio Ghibli film, "The Tale of the Princess Kaguya". The film is a beautiful exploration into the simplicity of happiness. It made me think a lot about the competition we face everyday. I thought I would therefore tell a similar narrative, one where someone appears from the waves to only find endless forms of competition. The final lyric, "It's always my toughest cells against your toughest cells, who break apart and destroy themselves", is used to illustrate the naturalness of competition.

The ocean waits
Always

We are two swarms
In one dance

I´d rather give it all
To the unsafe

My only god
My only path

I can´t repair
My own despair

I´d rather give it all
To the unmade
To repay

We are two cells
Torn open

My only god´s
Of million parts

I´d rather give it all
To the ocean
To return

Oceans Wait
