00:14The horizon is a flat line, a cardiac arrest
00:21I'm out where the map ends, and the silence starts its work
00:28Standing in the center of a void, looking for a signal
00:35Looking for your torch to cut through this thick velvet black
00:43But there's nobody here, baby
00:51Just the ghosts of the hours, I couldn't keep
00:57I'm a hollow mask, a lingering scent
01:03Of a man who left
01:07The years didn't just pass
01:10They tore the pages out
01:12I've been left behind
01:14In the draft of a life
01:17And the rain
01:23God, the rain just keeps pouring
01:28Heavy and mindless
01:31Pulling at my feet
01:34Turning the earth into a grave
01:38I'm already standing in
01:52I'm knee-deep in a pad, and the green has turned to slate
02:00This place is bleak
02:02A landscape stripped of its soul
02:07The water is rising
02:09Cold and indifferent
02:13Matching the pulse of a heart that forgot how to beat
02:18For itself
02:21I'm a relic in the mud
02:27A casualty of times long
02:31Slow retreat
02:34But then
02:36The clouds in my head start to break
02:40The memory of you
02:42It's like a flash flood of gold
02:48It's not a drowning
02:50It's a rescue
02:52You're the sudden sun on the surface of the swamp
02:56Bringing a blinding light
02:58To the corners of this darkness
03:03Illuminating the cracks where I thought I'd
03:10Disappear
03:11Disappear
03:36I let my breath go
03:40Oh, a long jagged sigh of delight
03:45For a second the mud feels like solid ground
03:52For a second the hollow fills with the heat of you
03:59Even here
04:05In the middle of nowhere
04:09With the rain still pooling at my feet
