I heard the wind howling from afar
I saw them rushing
To my side
And you screaming "Why, oh, why?"
Until the darkness
Killed the sky

I remember running far from me
My burning heart
Igniting the trees
And the sun was so bright
Until the darkness
Killed the sky

I remember running far from me

Alone and waiting for you to be near
For some part of me was deep in fear
And the pain running deep beneath my skin
Like wild butterflies kept within
And all is wasted in the sand
Like breaking emeralds in your hand

I remember running far from me
I remember falling
Deep into the sea
I remember being blinded by the shore
Until I touched the ocean floor
And I was then remembered, no more
And my name was forgotten with the sea
As the darkness fell over me

And this pain flows beneath my skin
Like wild butterflies kept within
And all is wasted in the sand
Like breaking emeralds in your hand

I remember you calling out to me
I remember running to the sea
I remember not wanting to be found
I remember I was safe and sound
And the pain grows inside me

And tears that were once grains of sand
Slip like water through your hands

I remember running far from me...
I remember running to the deep blue sea
And this pain flows beneath my skin
Like wild butterflies trapped deep within

And the pain grows inside me

I remember
I remember running far from me
I remember creating circles in the sand
I remember the feeling of your hand
I remember you saying "Why?"
Until the darkness
Killed the sky

And all is wasted in the sun
As my soul came undone

And tears that were once grains of sand
Slip like water through your hands

I remember
I remember running far from me
I remember
I remember wanting to be free

And I remember nothing more
As my body sank to the ocean floor
