Odyssey

[Verse 1]
Outside the lake’s a cataract
It stares up at the sky, blind to the aftermath
We all attend a nameless funeral
You could say it’s sad, but reason has to call it beautiful

So I burn my clothes, the ones I curse when I’m alone
And I trace the night, an architect of shattered sky
And all the things I fear fade away with the coming year
A resolution in the chaos that I made

[Chorus]
But I’m not weak, my brain’s a hurricane
Of sky and sea, Poseidon’s set a broken
Curse on me, I’m not the one who bleeds
With every odyssey

[Verse 2]
Our new deceit’s an old perfume
It masks nostalgic times, forgotten crimes die in the fumes
But Polaroids still hang in darkened rooms
The kids these days hold tight to each other in the womb
And I shovel days into the dirt and dust and fray
And I keep the score of everything I have in store
I got good at feeling pain, until no obstacles remained
A resolution in the chaos that I made

[Chorus]
But I’m not weak, my brain’s a hurricane
Of sky and sea, Poseidon’s set a broken
Curse on me, I’m not the one who bleeds
With every odyssey

[Bridge]
Feel the weight of cold upon your shoulders from the lake
The words you drowned leave a bitter taste inside your mouth
Whatever you have sheathed will throw itself against your teeth
Until you have the guts to let it out

[Chorus]
But I’m not weak, my brain’s a hurricane
Of sky and sea, Poseidon’s set a broken
Curse on me, I’m not the one who bleeds
With every bruise that blooms on me
But I’m not weak, my brain’s a hurricane
Of sky and sea, Poseidon’s set a broken
Curse on me, I’m not the one who bleeds
With every odyssey
