The Vortex Lyrics


The ships that we sail

The lips that tell tales


The world and its veil

Are all getting pale

And yet we prevail

What's left screaming is our soul

The depth of this sea

The chest and its key

The quest to be free


I guess it was me


Who swept through the seas

And now what I see
 is a hole

Vortexes and raging seas

I don't know what's underneath

The waves are crashing and flowing right as I ride with the beat

Some days I die, then I breathe

What's ahead I couldn't see

Without a few storms the journey's incomplete

Everyday that goes by

I look up to the sky

The light of her smile

Is spread across miles

The dread of the mind

I've left it behind the shore

Every way that I've tried

Each song that I write

To fight through the night

I'm writing these lines

For everyone lost at sea who's away from home


Goddamn these turbulent seas,

I don't know what's chasing me,

This song just forms a force strong as the brazen gong and our fleet

Some days I cry, then I bleed

What's ahead I couldn't see


Without a few storms the journey's incomplete


So this time I won't break

I learn from mistakes

I know what's at stake

The dream is awake


All gas no brakes headed right into the unknown

Every race that is ran

The fight for this land

The pride of a man

I don't understand

I'd rather be off in these waters all alone

Vortexes and raging seas


Hold on to your fucking seats

No doubt these clouds formed the turn he's on, I repeat

Some days I die, then I breathe

What's ahead I couldn't see

Without a few storms the journey is incomplete
