You finally noticed

Did it dawn on you slowly

Or was it a blast of cold air

You're adrift on an ocean of silence

You've lost track of the last time there was anyone here



You sought the silence

Scuttled any and all who didn't see things the same

Your actions turned quickly to habits

You slipped your moorings

And soon you were drifting away



Swept with the tide

Pulled out to sea

No course or sense of direction

Swept with the tide

Pulled out to sea

A lost ship adrift

With a ghost at the wheel



To some you're a memory

Others choose to say I do not remember at all

Some wait and pray and scan the horizon

Hoping that one day they'll see you come home



Swept with the tide

Pulled out to sea

A lost ship adrift

With a ghost at the wheel
