A Haven With Two Faces Lyrics
[Chorus]
I hope you still have a hideaway for me
Under the mountain, floating on the sea
Swear I saw an island there
Washed away by a temporary stream
I hope it still flows back to me
[Verse 1]
This haven has two faces
One is to create and one is to replace it
A forest I can fade in
With roots you’ll never see flowing back to me
[Pre-Chorus]
So they flooded it
Destroyed everything
Ripped the mountain out
Sank into the sea
Roots paralyzed by the salt
A horizon line crashing ovеr me
[Chorus]
I hope you still have a hidеaway for me
Under the mountain, floating on the sea
Swear I saw an island there
Washed away by a temporary stream
I hope it still flows back to me
[Verse 2]
I counter the current now
It’s destined to turn somehow
I watch as it flows backwards to me
[Bridge]
No wake and no shelter
We are eroded
I remember
Haven has two faces
One is to create and one is to replace it
In the wake of
A harbor I can fade in
Something fabricated
So close I can taste it
All flowing back to me
[Chorus]
I hope you still have a hideaway for me
Under the mountain, floating on the sea
Swear I saw an island there
Washed away by a temporary stream
I hope it still flows back to me
