letra de the wickie's requiem - i remember 2006

[part one: the yearning]

[verse one]

the lighthouse is shining
over the flaming ball in the sky
falling behind the horizon
i’m barely conscious
as i toss a stone into the water

[verse two]

on the edge of this island
my eyelids heavy as i scan the shoreline
miles away from me
months i’ll stay on this island
tending to the light
yearning to get back to you

[verse three]

and when the day comes
when they pull into the pier
to bring me back to shore
i will find you back in town
and embrace you in my arms
but until then
i will wait on this island
[part two: sound in the water]

[verse four]

i heave a sigh
the day is gone by now
i hеad back into the lighthouse
shuffling into the sleeping quartеrs
the last wickie had to evacuate
after falling onto the rocks
so, it’s just been me here
for about a week

[verse five]

i’ve been waiting for someone, anyone
to pull up at the docks
secretly hoping it would be you
but no soul has arrived
i’ve been on my own for so long
laying on my bed
staring at the ceiling
twiddling my thumbs

[verse six]
it’s pitch black out now
and i’m swimming through my thoughts
i don’t feel anchored to my bed
as i start to drift in my mind
but as i start being pulled in by the undertow
of my unconsciousness taking hold
i hear the distant splashing on the lake
and hear a grumble from the water

[verse seven]

i crawl out of my bed
and stalk over to a window
i stare out to the lake
to see if anything’s out there
but there’s not a being in sight
but there were strange ripples on the water
i was way too tired to ruminate on it
and i crashed back on the bed
drifting off again

[part three: sleepless nights]

[chorus]

i can’t sleep
i can’t sleep now
i can’t sleep
i can’t sleep now
[verse eight]

ever since then
when i heard that sound in the lake
i’ve been having fruitless sleep
i stare out the windows, yet see nothing
but i know deep down something lurking
in that frigid water
and i will see you
and you will know who i am
and i keep staring out at the water
my sleep suffering as i stay late outside
surveying the lake at which i’m stranded

[chorus]

i can’t sleep
i can’t sleep now
i can’t sleep
i can’t sleep now

[verse nine]

the days keep on going
and i’m always bothered awake
by something in the water
i spend my days investigating every inch
of this massive lake
and i find myself constantly seeing
a house on the shoreline
i don’t know who owns it
but why do i feel connected to it?
and still i can’t find whatever’s stalking
deep in the water

[chorus]

i can’t sleep
i can’t sleep now
i can’t sleep
i can’t sleep now

[verse ten]

and eventually after sleepless nights
staring out at the waves in suspicion
i spot something slithering in the water
i shot up to my feet
releasing a curse from under my breath
i watch as something massive sinks below the water
now i know i’m not alone
i demand it to return
but nothing resurfaces
and i’m left by my lonesome again

[part four: the limit]

[verse eleven]

and there it goes again
the bothered water jolting my mind
i step into a rage
and i storm to the window and shout

“what is it that you want from me?!
you wake me up every night
and i’m thrown in a state of panic
and i’ve had it up to here
i’m done feeling afraid of you
i will find you
we will settle this
right here, right now!”

[verse twelve]

i grab an axe
and i barge outside into the night
i charge down to the shore
the light from the top of the house
shining a path in front of me
my eyes dart the dark horizon
of the vast lake in front of me
i can hear the sloshing of water
i know you’re out there stalking me
i set a torch ablaze
and mount it on a wooden boat
as i climb on in
i grasp the paddles
and the fire illuminates the water in front of me
finally, your form comes into frame

[part five: final confrontation]

[verse thirteen]

even in the water, you tower over me
a wave of fear splashes over me
but i remember all the h-ll you put me through
all the sleepless nights you’ve caused
and i will put an end to it
and i will see my love again
and you will not be the death of me!

[verse fourteen]

your massive ears blow in the wind
your green eyes stare into my soul
“i’m not f-cking scared of you, you hear me!
you can intimidate me all you godd-mn want
but i will not back down!”

i pick up the axe and stand on the boat
the waves rock the vessel back and forth
i raise the above my head
preparing to swing at this beast
but then with a swift movement
the beast capsizes the boat
and i’m flung into the water

[verse fifteen]

my senses are rocked out of me
and my body rests underneath the lake for a moment
and i open my eyes to see the massive beast
waiting there for me
i regain my senses and swim to the surface
and when my head breaches out of the water
i take in a deep breath
i try to swim back to the boat
but i feel something tug on my leg
and i’m pulled back into the water
and the last thing i see
is a good view of wisconsin across the lake
