Lyrics

Oceans apart Drifting on the waves We're oceans apart Voices in the dark Waiting to be saved We're oceans apart Like a boat out on the sea For that moment we were free I love you, yes, I love you From your smile to your scars But we're oceans apart There's a world outside my door Full of people trying to play their part There's a star way out in space There must be someway that can't be replaced Feel myself slipping away It's like a stranger took my place Tryna keep an open mind But I'm losing myself every time Tell myself it's all a game And other people are just the same Open my door, step outside I keep on searching for the light I said I keep on searching for the light It's been the same since I was a little kid When I see the desert I see an ocean When I see an ocean I see a desert Each the image of the other A sea of mirrors, and here I am Caught between both the form and the reflection Between fact and fiction Not knowing which role I'm supposed to be playing Let's go past the skin in a character Go past the eye into the soul And in the end the only way you'll regain the mind Is to break it down to the rawest element of life and death You hear me? Get outside and fix it
