Oceans Away from Xerces Blue by The Frail Ophelias

counting down the days, like the end of time
you have lost your way, but i will give you mine
this Exodus of love, to the promised land
and as the river turns to red, you take me by the hand

“We’re going home” you say, but I am oceans away
the masses ebb and flow like the tides
I am floating here amidst these rising fears
to be free, to be free

i can feel the heat, from the black highway
the suffocating waves, of a former day
the tumbleweed cliche, rolls around my head
there is nothing left here, nothing to be said

You can rend your heart, but we are oceans apart
I have said, farewell, to the war
you know i won’t stay, we are oceans away
to be free, to be free
