The Strand

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The more I try The more I feel I'm missing The more I run The more my feet keep slipping The more I think The more I tend to worry The more I look I see my thoughts before me [Chorus] And I dream of a strand As I struggle on the waves And I see the end of a passing day As I see the strand In the corners of my mind Windows offer the view Of a coming day [Verse 2] The more I stretch The more these walls confine me The more I beg The less it all seems likely The more I mind The matter that surrounds me The more I find My thoughts before me [Chorus] And I dream of a strand As I struggle on the waves And I see the end of a passing day As I see the strand In the corners of my mind Windows offer the view Of a coming day [Bridge] Drifting on an open sea Shipwrecked clinging to broken beams Water's to my neck And I strain to catch my breath Drifting in the boundaries I've built deep within me Water's to my neck I strain to catch my breath I'm tired of treading again And I'm swimming to the strand [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] And I dream of a strand As I struggle on the waves And I see the end of a passing day As I see the strand In the corners of my mind Windows offer a view Of a coming day [Outro] Drifting on an open sea Shipwrecked clinging to broken beams Water's to my neck And I strain to catch my breath I'm tired of treading again I'm swimming to the strand [Instrumental Outro]
