_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Distance yourself from the shore
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
This rain is like falling knives
Stabbing at my skin
This wind is an immovable force
Forever I push against
With every wave that I cross
With every ocean that I conquer
I am closer to nothing
For I have no destination
I live for the journey
Distance yourself from the shore
Let the ocean's arms embrace you
Distance yourself from the shore
Further and further away
Never want to see land again
At home on the endless waves
The sun is like a burning sword
Cutting deeper than the skin
This drought is like endless desert
Draining your body dry
With every day that I live
With every breath that I take
I am closer to nothing
My journey is endless
With more pain than gain
The waves seem to never end
The sea seems to always breathe
I am a pioneer with no real goal
I am a nomad heading nowhere
My hands are tied to this wheel
Bound by desire
Bound tightly
To the sea
My heart is chained to the sea
Pulled down by an anchor
Pulled down
To the sea
SOLO
Distance yourself from the shore
Let the ocean's arms embrace you
Distance yourself from the shore
Further and further away
Never want to see land again
At home on the endless waves
Distance yourself from the shore
Let the massive waves overtake you
Distance yourself from the shore
Take me far, far away
I conquer the ocean
Master of the sea
With every wave that I cross
With every ocean that I conquer
I am closer to nothing
For I have no destination
I live for the journey

This started out as a song about a ship captain trying to conquer an immense sea to get home, And turned into a song about a man who journeys the sea forever, never going on land and never really heading anywhere. As they say, "Its not the destination, Its the journey".
