Private Shipwreck

I made a frantic gesture

We finally won the war

I laid down my time

They say we won their freedom

But my hands are trembling

There freedom for my mind

How can I live together

But die alone

My life's a private shipwreck at sea

Maybe I'll rise from the ashes

Take a skipping stone

And throw it passed the wave that's come for me

I knew your face while sleeping

I picked up every stone

It could have been mine

Now the mirrors cracking

Along with every bone

In God's own design

How can I live together

But die alone

My life's a private shipwreck at sea

Maybe I'll rise from the ashes

Take a skipping stone

And through it past the wave that's come for me
