The Shores of Obscurity

[Verse] I've set out from the beach Drifting farther out at sea With lessons I can't teach The writing's lost in the debris The fire on the horizon is getting low And the breeze is beginning to slow The sky grows dark and the clouds turn gray I've been sent away I've been sent away [Pre-Chorus] If I could lose it all And slip into the fog Close my eyes and see What skies await me [Chorus] Run aground on the shores of obscurity No one around to see my impurity I'm lost and I'm found in my own indignity My poison shall become my only remedy My only remedy [Verse] With nowhere left to hide In this endless sandy plain My eyes are open wide Let the spires pierce my brain Beyond it all do you recognize me The voice that calls won't let me be The water rushes in and I am swept away I am swept away I am swept away [Pre-Chorus] If I could have it all Emerge from restless nights Open my eyes and see What skies await me [Chorus] Run aground on the shores of obscurity No one around to see my impurity I'm lost and I'm found in my own indignity My poison shall become my only remedy My only remedy [Bridge] Here I am alone With nothing but my soul I could never see How much you meant to me Time will push forward And I will look onward But I am left behind I am left behind My poison shall become my only remedy My only remedy [Bridge] Here I am alone With nothing but my soul I could never see How much you meant to me Time will push forward And I will look onward But I am left behind I am left behind [Guitar solo] [Chorus] Run aground on the shores of obscurity No one around to see my impurity I'm lost and I'm found in my own indignity My poison shall become my only remedy No more time to run away from my memory Come to terms with my false divinity My facade constructed artificially My struggle can only end in futility
