Stark Raven Mad (ft. Howie DuDatte)

Speak to me
Tell me words I don't understand
Buried neck deep with my soul under sand
The past living at the bottom of an hourglass
All I see is us, these were our hours passed.

Filament, born from the cascades
Watch horizons from where you sent your last wave
It speaks to me
With words I don't understand
Snap right back in my mind like a rubber band

Can't escape, change came too late
When doesn't matter, if it did I couldn't estimate
The cause to effect, the moment that we sunk
I still hold the helm of the ship that you touched

Because it speaks to me
With words I don't comprehend
Living life with a ghost and our comm is dead
She just watches, ticks like a cricket
Silence in a motion, a painting that's so vivid

It speaks to me
With words I can't run from
Chained to em' like your mind to conundrums

Kick quick, swim for the hell of it
Till a path shows it's face and you can tell of it
Hold it close, promise that you love it
Visit all our islands, and show it that it doesn't
Need to worry bout a thing
You belong to a new crew
Forgot the silver rings
And letters that you used to

Give to me
With words that I truly see

All there really were were three
