Tamarakk - Born As Oceans Lyrics

Born as oceans
We've grown backwards into dirt
Circle clockwise or reverse around the sun

Forty years and forty more
It never works out like you planned
The way you planned it never works

Running faster
There's a hunger to the clock
Sometimes lonesomeness and doubt is all you got

But lucky you
You're in ascension constantly
Until you wake up
As a stranger in your bed

How could you be so ready to compromise
What you hold in you heart to be sure

How could you be so petty I confess I too
Been on the flip side of that coin

Why would we open our hearts to this

When we know we're all alone I guess
It's just

Climbing a ladder
Where it rests against the sun
Nobody told you you're a bird with waxy wings

Keeping a tally of
Pretenders to your throne
All of the fights incited being deaf and dumb

How many of the days you lost
We're a joke that you weren't in on

How could you honestly say to yourself
I am right and everyone else is wrong

Why would we open our hearts like this

We're so sure ours is for no one else
Unless

We can't trust ourselves to be alone
We can't trust ourselves

Then disaster
Kicks the windows out and screams
Litters all your pretty dreams across the lawn

Buried on your back
With only sky to see
Counting all those leaves of grass
You never read

How could you be so quick to leave
This world it's a drag
But you know the next is worse

All of the stories we have told ourselves to behave
Are just hopes scratched in the dirt

Why would we open our hearts like this

When we know we're all we've got I guess
I guess It's just

We can't trust ourselves to be alone
We can't trust ourselves to be alone
