Emptiness 03:11
Heavy heart and a hollow mind You seem to drift in from time to time Heavy heart and a hollow mind You never leave my fucking mind You're always by my side But no matter how hard I imagine it's all just in my mind You never leave my side But no matter how hard I imagine you left me far behind This feeling pulls me under, consumes me at my core Inseparable from each other, but now these bonds are no more Pictures still hold us, constant reminders of the past Memories of what was, once something I used to have Heavy heart and a hollow mind I will love you till the end of time You're engraved in mind I just feel so empty inside

Stand by my side, I'm going to show you the ways of life Just take my hand and hold it tight (I'll show you the ways of life) Don't let them pull you under, Don't give those fuckers a chance You're a ship in murky water, I'm your lighthouse up ahead No fear, Just love Just love for you my brother i'll never let you down I am, We are We are your guiding hand We are the ones the sons of light We'll help those ones to shape the sky We are the ones who tighten the ties And will show them all the ways of life (We are, sons of light) (We will, shape the sky) (We will, tighten the ties) (Show them, the ways of life) Don't let them pull you under Don't give those fuckers a chance I have love for you my brother I am your guiding hand I am your guiding hand

Oyster Cove 07:22
My father wakes me up, he says son we're going down to oyster cove We pack some lunch and our fishing rods, and walk down to the boat I pull the anchor as he starts up the motor and he pushes us through the mangroves He jumps in as the water gets deep and off we go Everything is so beautiful out here My father looks at me and says "I want to tell you a story" About a father son who had the strongest of bonds through the loss of their mother They lived along this very river, just along the boardwalk They used to kayak up and down this river The son would always wear a life jacket He was young and he couldn't swim strong, about seven or eight He went to school caught a bus to and from He didn't have to many friends The father worked he worked all day long And he wouldn't come home till late And day by day the father would be at work while the son was all alone He was independant and his grandmother only lived up the road And he would wait and wait Until one afternoon his patience was dead and gone It'd be dark in an hour he'd been waiting for far to long And so he planned to go out on the kayak And leave a not for his father He wouldn't be to long and he would only stay in shallow water Or so he thought And all the while The father was working late He was almost done and soon would be coming home Unaware That his son his only child wouldn't be at home He'd be out on the water But he'd never been by himself before He wasn't ready at all So the boy went to the shed opened door picked up the kayak He was to busy dragging it by himself that he forgot About his lifejacket He dragged it along the boardwalk slowly placed it into the water Grabbed the paddle and realised he didn't have his lifejacket But thought he'd fine with out it But he wouldn't be So slowly he paddled along the river Staying in the shallows but he thought he'd go deeper He was paying to much attention to the water He didn't notice the skies ahead the clouds closing in Until a drop of rain fell on his forehead And ran down his face but he chose to ignore it But then he looked up He noticed And then it rained and it rained and it poured And then it poured it poured and stormed The river grew agressive and violent The kayak only handled when the river was silent The son panicked He couldn't swim He tried to paddle but the water consumed him And then he fell He fell in The father finally made it home He called for his son but he was all alone Then he saw the note ran down to the river Saw his son lying dead on the shore One week later after the funeral The father was now all alone at home How was he supposed to cope? Alone with his thoughts and a rope. Contemplating He ties the rope around his throat Contemplating He's got nothing to lose no more hope Contemplating He writes his mother a suicide note He kicks the chair and lunges forward What a sad dark day at Oyster Cove
