Now I Have The Conch Songtext
Lean in close and you may hear the cries of crashing seas
And a death to lofty expectations meant for me

A star is born tonight, in between these walls away from spotlights
As it shoots across the skies, dimming too much for wishes within my sights
Praying I won't lay my head down

Another morning with a mind racing, heartbeats hold still
Sweating longer miles as liquor pours out of this quill
The final word is mine, now smash the conch and fill this hourglass with wine
In a subtle toast to life and the silenced spirits left unrecognized

"To sleep, perchance to dream"
Dog-ear our page in history
Unsung, in chorus rise, to glean hope from a life despised
