lyrics

Lately I've been watching a storm gathering out on the ocean
Watching as a darkness engulfs the tranquil sky
Lately I've been sensing that wheels of fate are motion
Something's going to happen, no telling when or why
Is this how it must be
Isolated for eternity
The ocean boils beneath a stormy sky
I look the tempest in the eye
Lately I've been thinking about how we're all getting older
Have I spent my time wisely or thrown it away?
Lately I've been carrying the weight of my world on my shoulders
And in the fading light I can't tell night from day
Is this how it must be
Isolated for eternity
The ocean boils beneath a stormy sky
I look the tempest in the eye
So I'll burn my books, or drown them in the deepest ocean / Coulda been, shoulda been, woulda been
Cast my sins away / All the things that I oughta been
