Envy and Other Sins - Shipwrecked
 ★ van

Adrift among the flotsam and the jetsam.
The last remaining scraps of other people's lives
Cut off from the so-called civilised
We drift along and on the waves that bring me here,
I've travelled far from home to meet the rising sun
But it's not all I hoped,
and now I only crave to see your face.

Now our companions all are lost
And there is no way of telling how it's going to end
Each frozen hour has its cost,
But every heated minute more than makes amends.
And though you raise a smile for people drifting by,
They sink beneath the waves that gnaw upon the shore
And promise what you crave

Shipwrecked by your cruel enchantments,
Blinded by your loft apartments
Taxis, High Streets, making ends meet.

Keeping my head above water

I see your light burn right the fog,
It's keeping my head above water, I won't ever forget.
How am I alive, how've I survived this far
Keeping my head above water?
I won't settle for less.
