The Ocean’s Weight

(Driving, slightly distorted bassline and delayed guitar intro)

(Verse 1)

The quiet in the current, it washes over me

A borrowed stillness, where the shadows used to be.

But the water's rising, a dark and heavy tide

I watch the sea billows roll, there’s nowhere left to hide.

(Pre-Chorus)

I can hear the engine stutter, I can feel the anchor fray

If I lose the signal now, what will I have to say?

(Chorus)

And the weight of the ocean is on my soul

A restless silence taking its toll.

But a promise echoes in the shifting sand

It is well, it is well, with the hand that holds me.

(Verse 2)

The jagged corners of the trials that come on strong

I wear the friction like a broken, bitter song.

But in the wreckage of the things I can’t control,

There's a blueprint written, a constant to make me whole.

(Pre-Chorus)

I can hear the engine stutter, I can feel the anchor fray

If I lose the signal now, what will I have to say?

(Chorus)

And the weight of the ocean is on my soul

A restless silence taking its toll.

But a promise echoes in the shifting sand

It is well, it is well, with the hand that holds me.

(Bridge)

I look to the horizon, where the sky begins to bend

A light is cutting through, where the waiting will end.

No shallow comfort, no easy lie

Just the sight of the final day, rolling back the sky.

(Guitar Solo - Building intensity, moving from clean echo to a wall of sound)

(Outro)

It is well, it is well...

Let the trump resound, let the signal send.

It is well, it is well...

(The music fades out slowly on a repeated, high-pitched guitar feedback loop)
