Cast Out-Unedited

Why And why now? I can't believe I had told myself you had changed Defending you, against everyone Who told me it would end up this way Angry So angry that the walls we built still stand And we raised the sails and set the ship to sail once more But the wreckage was still there From stormy tides that dragged me down into the depths of sea You managed to swim away from the wreck Only for the waves to wash you back up to my shores So here we are again I allowed the vessel to be carried out once more Made strong with my hope That it could make to shore But I still had dreams at night Of again when the storm would rage on Rage against us, Rage against me I thought these stormy seas were much farther away But I feel the first drop of rain And if this boat too were to sink Would you carry out of me out of wreckage Or once again find a new barge to break As my body drifts across the ocean
