You think everyone is a basket case
Except for us maybe we’re okay
But sometimes you worry about me
Just staring out to sea
Like I know different
Now the old man’s gone out to find some peace
With the wild lions on the beach
You don’t have to go so far
It’s happening where you are
We’re no different
On the inside, there’s a rhythmic tide
That pushes darkness out and shows him light
Angel maker
See, learn, tame nature
A silhouette, against the ocean spray
An image that he’ll take away
He won’t ever forget it
Now it’s on your mind you could use some help
Stood his ground only hurt himself
But you know he went through hell
Casting all the swell
Always distant, on the inside, with no ship in sight
And every rhythm flows into the night
Angel maker
See, learn, tame nature
A silhouette, against the ocean spray
An image that he’ll take away
He won’t ever forget it
One day, when it’s over
All the borders will be open
In your honor, for your virtue
I never, meant to hurt you
I surrender, to the future
But I won’t be, taken prisoner
And I’ll stay with you, if you’ll let me
And the whole world, can forget me
I know that, we came closer
To believing, that we’re through
I know different
