Aaron Devries - Only Drowning Men Lyrics

It’s been a while now
Since you could face yourself
To wear the time the way it wore you
Feel the years being glued to you
You can see your skin’s grown weathered
But you can’t catch one passing glimmer
Of the past you’ve been constructing
Since before our time was altered

And I don’t what to do
So I sing you off to sleep
And kiss you on your head
While decay is creeping in

And I’d sell you lines to keep you from thinking
The bridges we built are all sunk in an ocean now

Now from youth so long divided
Creaking bones and dimmer lighting
You’ve found your cup’s become too shallow
To keep your fleeting thoughts inside it
And when you sink into reflections
Are you aging with those etchings?
Or are you young and free and graceful?
Is this passing time a waste? No?
I don’t know
What can I do?
Except bring you back inside
To ease your wondering for a while
All the madness is creeping in
I don’t know

So now I’ll speak right to you
In your lofty golden tower
If only drowning men can see you
Must I watch them turn to sailors?
Because I can’t stand on that water
If I can’t see you any clearer
And I feel so disappointing
Watching mountains stand un-turning all the time
