Dead Reckoning

I can see all my mistakes 

Left behind in my wake

Like a northern star

They’ve led me far from home

I distanced the life i knew

Each wave pushing my truth 

Crashing sand upon the shore 

My heart could take no more

I found my dead reckoning

In sorrow and sadness

I found my dead reckoning

In all of this mess 

I’ve got more stars to uncover

More maps to plot a course

Take the helm in my hands 

Sound the bells of sweet remorse

I know the way home in irons 

Bracing winds kaleidoscope 

Mourn the loss of a journey not taken

Anchor my heart in hope

I found my dead reckoning

In sorrow and sadness

I found my dead reckoning

In all of this mess 

A ship in the harbor is safe

But that is not what ships are for

A ship in the harbor is safe

But that is not what ships are for

I found my dead reckoning

In sorrow and sadness

I found my dead reckoning

In all of this mess
