Lyrics The Tide - Helisir, Christopher Juul

The Tide

You told me to take your word for it
But you don’t know how many times
Someone said that and the words were knives
That stabbed me in the back once I let my guard down
You don’t know how many times I’ve fallen in the war between
My instincts and my heart
I feel like the tide
Hitting your shores
Pulling back
Not out of fear
But I’m not ready
My water ain’t enough
To heal your very being
For which you have to let me reach
If you want me there
Unless you’re able to tear down my walls
You plant flowers in the barracks of my wounds
Add water to soothe the dark of memories
You don’t know how many times I’ve fallen in the war between
My instincts and my heart
