GAZE INTO THE SEA (HEARTWORM) ft. Keith Gehman Lyrics

I remember

How it started

The affair between

A guardian and what he stands to protect

The bricks laid

Forming a tower to

Reach the sky

The higher I stand

The more to see

Not just you

But the enemies who sail

Closer every day

My eye lies not

Gazing upward

Toward what we could be

Toward the bright

Sun climb atop the horizon each day

But a cruel world below

All I see

With my watchful eye

A gaze glued downward

Are the foes which surround

That which I love

Love

My purpose

Without you I mean nothing

Just a tower

Facing nothing

But an empty sea

With no one to shine upon

And warn away

But is it that power which I love

Or you, my dear?

Does it give me purpose

To have someone to watch over

Does it give you meaning

Or do you stand in fear

Of me

Or the world I see?

Do you even love me?

See me?

Know me?

We have never met

Our love a dream

Shared between us day

And night

But how does one share

Without a hand to hold?

Where goes my gaze

Without someone to see?

A gaze to meet

A lip to kiss

Or a hand to hold

And yet

I protect you

Or do you

Protect me?

From a distant foe

With hate in their heart

Or envy

Or from that space which surrounds

Always closing in

Circling

Stealing away precious peace

Infiltrating lies and doubt

Consuming all that stands for

My joy, my anchor

Until all that remains

Is fear

Is the voice

Which crumbles my gaze

Until I cannot see what lies ahead because

It does not exist

I do not exist

You do not

Exist

Each

But for what

And for whom

Are my prey

Just other islands

Other lives

Other worlds

Than me

And I am the ships racing to gaze

Upon the same sea?

But how will I know

If one day I look away

And my precious sea

Belongs no longer to me?
