lyrics

It was a rare, brave few
Who had promised to
Be on the crew
With me and you

We sailed straight for
The darkest storm
Above the sea
Of you and me

And came out clean
Though the storm was mean
No rust or dust
Just the real us

When we came back
They didn't recognize
They'd avoid our eyes
And put on disguises

For the first time
We noticed the crime
They'd committed for
All those years before

On us honest few
Who had sought the truth
They hurt me and you
They poisoned the truth

And I want to
know
Why why why why
Why why why why

Do they look the other
Way while we just
Cry cry cry cry
Cry cry cry cry?

Is this a life?
Is that your love?
Averted eyes?
A playful shove?

Who does that help?
What did that solve?
Avoiding hurts
Doesn't absolve you

From hurting

So we set sail
Once again
For lands unknown
Searching for when

The world will be
For you and me
Instead of them
For us my friend

Where our giant souls
Can be fully free
To fill the sea
To fill the sea

Lost and Found
by The Broken Bicycles

This is so pretty and will get stuck in your head. I helped with edits in the mastering, but received no compensation. Buy it and tell them I sent you. I'm hoping for at least 10-15 high fives as pay. I'm Not Dead/I'm Not A Robot
