The Setting Sun

A broadside is the side of a ship, the battery of cannon on one side of a warship; or their coordinated fire in naval warfare. From the 16th century until the early decades of the steamship, vessels had rows of guns set in each side of the hull. Firing all guns on one side of the ship became known as a "broadside". The cannons of 18th century men of war were accurate only at short range, and their penetrating power mediocre, entailing that the thick hulls of wooden ships could only be pierced at short ranges. These wooden ships sailed closer and closer towards each other until cannon fire would be effective. Each tried to be the first to fire a broadside, often giving one party a decisive headstart in the battle when it crippled the other ship. more »

the light goes out and leads us nowhere
fading voices fail to be heard
emptiness it wraps me up and tears into my skin

When darkness doesn't promise light
and sorrow grips your throat at night
there's gotta be
something I can change
cause I'm done pretending I'm okay

I must have lost my mind
putting my faith into borrowed time
told myself I could run
away from the setting sun
The setting sun

the circles underneath my eyes
a badge from all my sleepless nights
And at the corner of my
bed
the reaper waits to tuck me in
the moon is hanging low it's almost blinding
i'm drowning from the raging sea inside of me
Drown inside of me

I must have lost my mind
putting my faith into borrowed time
told myself I could run
away from the setting sun
The setting sun

It's getting cold outside
but I haven't felt a thing this whole damn year
I lay in bed and pray the night
takes me far away from here

I hear a voice in my head
Tells me to sink
But I’m still learning to swim
