about

Written sometime mid 2013, the song is about being caught in the storm of a toxic relationship and all of the bitterness that comes along with losing what you thought you never really wanted in the first place.

lyrics

Verse 1:
Faceless reality
Face this today

We're remembering casualties
Lost on the way

Simple broken hearts
It's best that you just stay away

My summer of sam stemmed from winters decay
Still I asked myself what made you stay?

You wouldn't go away
And I swore on my life I still felt the same

Bridge 1:
I'm covered in sin
Wash it away so we can start again

Chorus 1:
Lost in your Maelstrom
Carried away by the faith in your heart

The wind and the rain
Let it cover me

All of me
Take me away from this empty dream

Bridge 2:
Of what is and should never be
Take me away from this empty dream

- Musical Break -

Verse 2:
Breaking down walls again
You tear them away

Just for me to let you down again
Day after day

It isn't you it isn't me
It's just not the way it's supposed to be

I get buried alive every time I hear you cry
But I lost my soul just way too long ago

And I let you down
Without even saying goodbye

Bridge 3:
This storm has no end
All I want from you is to let me in

Chorus 2:
Lost in your Maelstrom
Carried away by the faith in your heart

The wind and the rain
Let it cover me

All of me
Take me away from this empty dream

Lost in your Maelstrom
Carried away by the guilt in my heart

Your hurt and my shame
Let it cover me

All of me
Take me away from this empty dream

Bridge 4:
Of what is and should never be
I let you down in the end

Just like I said

- Musical Break -

Outro:
Lost in your Malestrom
Carried away

As I'm lost out at sea
I pray for a wave

For one glimpse of you
I would do anything to just get to see

What was and will never be
Take me away from this empty dream
