Play Crack The Sky
By Brand New

We sent out the S.O.S. call
It was a quarter past four, 

In the morning
When the storm broke

Our second anchor line

Four months at sea,

Four months of calm seas 

To be pounded in the shallows,

Off the tip of Montauk Point

They call 'em rogues,
They travel fast and alone

One hundred foot faces 

Of God's good ocean gone wrong

What they call love is a risk,

'Cause you will always get hit

Out of nowhere by some wave

And end up on your own

The hole in the hull
Defied the crew’s attempts,

To bail us out

And flooded the engines and radio,

And half buried bow

Your tongue is a rudder
It steers the whole ship

Sends your words past your lips

Or keeps them safe behind your teeth

But the wrong words will strand you

Come off course while you sleep

Sweep your boat out to sea

Or dashed to bits on the reef

The vessel groans
The ocean pressures its frame

To the port, I see the lighthouse

Through the sleet and the rain

And I wish for one more day 
To give my love, and repay debts

But the morning finds our bodies 

Washed up thirty miles west

They say that the Captain 
Stays fast with the ship,

Through still and storm

But this ain't the Dakota,

And the water's so cold

Won't have to fight for long

(This is the end)

This story's old, 
But it goes on, and on, until we disappear

(This is the calm)

Calm me, and let me taste 
The salt you breathed, while you were underneath

(We are the risen)

I am the one who haunts 
Your dreams of mountains, sunk below the sea

I spoke the words, 
But never gave a thought, of what they all could mean

(Rest in the deep)

I know that this is what you want, 
A funeral keeps both of us apart

(Washed up on the beach)

You know that you are not alone, 
I need you like water in my lungs

This is the end
