Ben Varney - The Lighthouse Lyrics

This marks a special occasion
10,000 hours in the basement
They cannot face this, lives are too basic
I draw my soul from the page like a spaceship
Hover the light, watching my six, my abdominals tight
Out in the sticks, I just drown in my mind
Every damn minute a mountain to climb, I'm faded
Never diminish, I joust through the night
I'm a survivor, I fight for my life
I'm refined like a diamond
Through strife and the violence, I made it through
(He made it through)
Then I fall right back in the darkness
Fly through the night, heart is my harness
My hand on my darling , I drown in a tar pit
Don't worry about me though, you are not amigo
Just me and me stilo, sippin' on this pinot grigio
I breathe these flows, these seas be cold
Death choose my fate like eenie meenie moe
I chew on hate and drink my woes
Drown in these waters, can't breathe no more
Waiting for the Kraken she seeks my soul
Need a sign like right now
Hide in my cabin with knives out
Ship deck shakes, the skies shout
Mist eats the rays of the lighthouse
I lost my way, out on these waves
Hope and I pray not too late for the change
Shrouded in mist, I try search for the rays
I need a sign like right now
Hide in my cabin with a knife out
The ship deck breaks, the skies shout
Mist eats the rays of the lighthouse
I lost my way, out on these waves
Hope and I pray not too late for the change
Shrouded in mist, I try search for the rays
Whipping my ship on the stillest of waters
Black spot on my chest cus the kid is for slaughter
If sleep is the cousin this mist is the daughter
It hangs like a veil, a widow, a mourner
Out of the waves, see a towering spire
Tom in the wake, he is watching the fire
Head to its base like a mountain to climb up
I race up the stairs to find the supplier
Now I am here, I stare at the light
It shows me my fears, it eats at my pride
Know death is near, there's nowhere to hide
Like a spear it do pierce inside of my mind
Why
Wake up on the ship again, rope around my neck
With a rotten skeleton and a couple dry feathers
Hard to tell the difference from life and night terrors
Albatross skeletons pick at my guts
They tear at my liver while I'm lying stuck
Chained to this ship as I lay in the dust
Sirens keep singing, yeah they wanna f*ck
Well f*ck it then, tell em then, I'm bout to get it in
They'll be my medicine, I'm on the way
Head to their regiment, raising adrenaline
Swallow like pelican, oh how they prey
Need a sign like right now
Hide in my cabin with knives out
Ship deck shakes, the skies shout
Mist eats the rays of the lighthouse
I lost my way, out on these waves
Hope and I pray not too late for the change
Shrouded in mist, I try search for the rays
I need a sign like right now
Hide in my cabin with a knife out
The ship deck breaks, the skies shout
Mist eats the rays of the lighthouse
I lost my way, out on these waves
Hope and I pray not too late for the change
Shrouded in mist, I try search for the rays
