Circus Zombie - 2,534 Days Lyrics

So here we are, two thousand five hundred and thirty-four days from the first time I looked lovingly in your eyes
Although the time has been spacious, just the mere thought of never seeing you again makes me want to cry
Don't ask me why
Like two ships lost without a course to set sail or a captain to take charge

I so desire to keep staring into the oceans that kept me afloat for so long
Praying and hoping that the waters that kept us apart are no longer too large
I linger at the stones, counting each as a single word or lyric to your sweat
Sweet song

I set my sights across the vast waters, rowing ever closer to your heart
I pray
I pray
Tired from all the dangerous waves and unknown creatures, I fight to stay adrift, I dare to say

By now the last pirate has surely buried the key to the treasure I so deeply need
Covered with sand, guarded by a fearsome beast at the sea's end
Scribbling a simple phrase
Baby, I love you, please come home

Stuffing into a rustic bottle, dropping it into the water
A desperate message I send, the waves crushing my hope as its journey now begins
The winds and the waves are carrying my heart

The swells cleansing my soul, brooding like my last hope
The outcome I probably already know
I lay into my hammock, swaying and drifting reminiscing to the sounds of your hair
And whispering the sounds of your voice like you were almost there

I'm searching
Searching with a desperate heart
Searching for someone who's just my being
The reflection that I need

But after all these rolling nights holding a pillow, pretending we're not too far apart
Fighting to last what you gave me
As the hunger for my love feeds in my passion, I decided to feed
But like the thief in the night, who patiently waits for the guard to fall asleep

I've been waiting in agony, clinging to a shred of hope
Faith is hard to keep
Deeper into the night, my ship sails further from where I should be
All the stars that shined so bright, too deep right through the days ago, are now lost to me

I'm searching for days again
I'm searching with a desperate heart
Searching with heart
Searching for someone who's just my being

The reflection that I need
But after all these rolling nights holding a pillow, pretending we're not too far apart
Pretending we're not too far away
Nights holding a pillow, pretending we're not too far apart

But like the thief in the night, who patiently waits for the guard to fall asleep
I've decided to feed
I've decided to feed
Clinging to a shred of hope

But like the thief in the night, who patiently waits for the guard to fall asleep
I've been waiting in agony, clinging to a shred of hope
Faith is hard to keep
Deeper into the night, my ship sails further from where I should be

All the stars that shine so bright, too deep right through the days ago, are now lost to me
A single star twinkles, admitting the truth
That lone stone is my last chance for you to see
Behind me I hear a horn as loud and as proud as the Jesus once played by Gabriel

The angel of the hidden story
On the tip of the bow, I see a familiar face
You're a surrendering voice
Now your plan's been answered

Will this be the night
For one single thing my lips have craved
My heart and desires enslaved
Our first kiss was not our last kiss

And I was not left behind
Our first kiss was not our last kiss
And I was not left behind
And I was not left behind

And I was not left behind
