paul loren - life raft كلمات الأغنية

the maps have now been burned
the compass newly shattered
direction’s but a theory
on a winding unmarked trail

back then i knew each turn
when knowing such things mattered
i’d close my eyes and clearly
i could see beyond the pale

was it always unpredictable before
now i doubt i’d still come out unscathed
did i once believe the way ahead was sure
even if the road hadn’t been paved
even though the road was never paved
the figures have been faked
the diagrams all doctored
evidence is mounting
for complicity to crime

new routine: i lie awake
my rhythm’s duly altered
i don’t know a friend who’s seen
a good night’s sleep in quite some time

was it all so undetermined long ago
back before the darkness was a threat
did they always draw the curtain for the show
even if the stage hadn’t been set
now it’s evident the stage was never set

was it always as uncertain as it seems
that’s what i’ve been wondering all year
did we always fully understand our dreams
even when the meaning wasn’t clear
even though the meaning was never clear

they whisper from within
those secrets they’ve been saving
waiting for a reckoning
like this to come along
so we’ll take one on the chin
at last a storm worth braving
though it never looked this threatening
but then i could be wrong

was it always as conditional before
dependent on details we can’t denote
does it all seem so unsinkable and sure
even when the life raft doesn’t float
now we know the life raft doesn’t float
