Atlantic Hearts

Atlantic Hearts
By Kevin Robey
November 28, 2013

The very way out of this endless day 
Is something that I may never feel
What can I say, fate leads the way
Release today, like faith is real

My cry for help, when will I call?
Conspire away, lay down your bet
The enemies inside this wall
These allies are my biggest threat

I’ll drive away from this broken town
Where stop lights break, and lovers fall
These memories found where they’ll drown
Sea of dreams shining like a porcelain doll

With stolen wheels, I’ll leave this all behind
These sunburned eyes where soul mates never die
Down brand new roads with no regrets to find
I’ll smile one more time beneath the bleeding sky

Through the great unknown acceptance raining in
They’re fading from reality the jaded shades I see
Start again, forgive the sin, every time that I begin
No place to land on my two feet but feeling like I’m free

Can't believe that these nightmares won’t return
The sun will rise again to higher reaching heights
Next time when the sunset ends I’ll refuse to burn
Scarred Atlantic hearts forever shine to end those nights
