about
A breach is a gap in a wall, barrier, or defense. This song is about straddling that gap for as long as you can, but inevitably falling in.
lyrics
I can still taste you on the tip of my tongue,
I'm trying to hold your breath inside my lungs,
Draw me away.
Draw me amazed.
We stand outside ourselves,
and didn't move.
When we screamed fire inside a crowded room.
Mediocrity surrounds me,
To the point of tragedy.
Once more unto the breach,
We can walk along the breach.
Consumed by a devouring,
Convinced by an overwhelming.
Draw me afraid,
You draw me flayed.
We stood outside ourselves,
then you moved.
And I stood by myself in the crowded room.
Mediocrity escapes me,
when I hear your voice.
Barely avoiding tragedy,
We made that choice.
I closed my eyes so hard,
I didn't know the water from the sea,
As we walked along the breach.
The crack was deeper than it seemed,
I could not cross the yawning,
that opened in my chest cavity,
The frailty that tore,
Still led us once more unto the breach.
Mediocrity escaped me,
When I heard your voice,
To the point of tragedy,
When you made your choice.
I closed my eyes so hard,
I didn’t know the water from the sea,
As we walked along the breach.
Mediocrity escaped me,
When I heard your voice,
To the point of tragedy,
When you made your choice.
I closed my eyes so hard,
To shut out the uncertainty,
Against the husk of a dream,
As we stand astride, stand astride the breach.
