Atlas

My life is a weathered down shipwreck Splitting at the seams, held together by memories and dreams Every face I have seen, a stitch on my mind On a shadow of a dream And my heart is its cargo, a worn out old thing Been dragged around this rock more times than you'd believe To the east I call home But the west, she is calling From the north, to the south Forever I'm drifting away With more hope than fear Put your head to my chest and you will hear The sound of it beating Is the sound of love leaving The sound of it beating Is the sound of the emptiness flooding in Flooding in It's the sound of the emptiness flooding in And my life, it aches And my heart, it breaks And I just can't shake the feeling all I am is sinking While one thousand eyes stare back at me But the ones that I'd die for are the ones I can't see Flooding in It's the sound of the emptiness
