Glow Lyrics - Being As An Ocean

There can be so much tragedy in a smile 

Such desperation in embrace 

We all ache for a taste of humanity 

As the widow for one last glimpse of her beloved's face 

We all ache 

We all long for security 

Sanctuary, belonging 

What then prompts the heart of stone? 

Often the object of overlooked affections 

To slash and burn, before the harvest reaps what was sewn 

To look half-themselves in the eyes 

See the scars on their skin 

And continue to not pay fucking attention

20 Classic Christmas Lyrics to Celebrate The Holiday Season 

Like street lamps, we glow so dim 

Like four walls you shut me in 

Like street lamps, we glow so dim 

(Shattered people, shatter hopes) 

Like four walls you shut me in 

(Don't be misery's company) 

Ni em tuhs ouy sllaw ruof ekiL 

If only more of us would only choose to look back 

Contemplate those springs of youth 

Recollections of laughter 

Recall that sense of wonder, when nothing else seemed to matter 

Time has a funny way of coercion 

Tricks us into thinking that our past dreams 

Were only passing lunacies better scattered to the wind 

Lamenting, "I'll never love like my first, though I've forgotten their kiss 

I'll never truly be happy, though I can't remember the joys of heaven" 

I can't stop paying attention 

I swear I'll keep remembering 

Photos 

Like street lamps, we glow so dim 

(Due to the shade in which we're placed) 

Like four walls you shut me in 

(Homes were never meant to be prisons) 

So every time I pick up a mic 

I pray my words only serve to remind 

This life is what we make of it 

Though we can feel so trapped in our own minds 

From every morning's breath, we can choose 

End the cycles of self abuse 

I'll embrace the vulnerable 

I'll embrace the broken 

We can only know what we're shown, and I know that love is worth the risk 

Blood is thicker than the water of the womb 

Let me kiss the scars on your wrists 

And no matter who has told you differently 

You are worth everything 

You are worth everything
