lyrics

within your silence is the key
to riddle doubts I didn't keep
push a note down a bottle throat
pull back
and throw it out to sea

feel the earth shake
to unveil a bearing scar
count the days
held the ocean in a jar

it's not worth that much time
better in small windows
no words to write
that will change the outcome

the sound of waves
salt heals scars of the heart
with just one taste
held the ocean in a jar

now I spend my days
far away from the place
where I was born
far away
the ebb and flow
shield the wind
It's just a start
the balance thin
I was born
far away
from where I plan to stay

feel the earth shake
to unveil a bearing scar
count the days
held the ocean in a jar
