Tethered Tides

[Ambient Ocean Waves - Intro] Crashing waves, timbers groan, A ship cuts through the fog alone. [Verse 1] Steel meets skin, the cold morning bites, Chains clank, the labor fights, Hands raw, the deck a blur, Dreams of paint, now distant murmurs. [Chorus] Tethered tides, pull me back, To the canvas I lack, In the hold of the rolling sea, Art’s echo calls to me. [Verse 2] Salt air fills the weary lungs, Above, the gull’s cry unsung, Eyes to the horizon’s end, Yearn for the brush, the colors blend. [Chorus] Tethered tides, pull me back, To the canvas I lack, In the hold of the rolling sea, Art’s echo calls to me. [Extended Bridge -Dissonant sounds and chaotic audio samples] The storm inside rages, a tempest unfree, Waves of discord, the artist’s plea, Gears grind, the spray stings, In the chaos, my spirit clings. [Chorus] Tethered tides, pull me back, To the canvas I lack, In the hold of the rolling sea, Art’s echo calls to me. [Outro] As the ship sails through the night, Tides relentless in their might, Yet in my soul, the colors swirl, Tethered still, to another world.
