Title Touch the Sand Again
Lyrics:
Travel changes who you are,
you don’t come back the same.
Yes…
it’s true.
What nobody ever tells you
is the mark that stays behind
isn’t always your own journey
or the toll you had in mind—
but the one who sails away from you
and leaves your world resigned.
[Verse 1]
Sometimes staying home in silence
is a storm beneath your skin,
and just watching others vanish
shakes your soul from deep within.
Every moment turns to mirrors
showing truths you kept unseen,
’til you finally face the heartbreak
you had buried in between.
Letting go of what was shattered
might be what sets you clean.
You were certain you were anchored
in a safe familiar shore,
but the paradise you dreamt of
wasn’t paradise at all.
All the calm you thought was honest
was just quiet before the fall.
[Pre-Chorus]
Those dawn colors weren’t signs,
never meant to speak to you.
Not the birds in all their circles,
not the laughter, not that “true.”
Not the glances that felt secret
were a promise to pursue…
And the world appears so different
when the veil you loved is through.
[Chorus]
’Cause nothing was that strong,
that forever, or that real.
Only echoes of a heartbreak
that forgot to help you heal.
Now you weigh the truth in everything,
you measure what you feel.
And the shadows in the nighttime
show the cost of what was sealed.
Those cool waves were never gentle,
never safe to let you in.
At the bottom of that ocean
lived the storm that pulled you in.
You were lost and so wide open,
so prepared to sink again…
Now it hurts to see how blind you were,
how wrong you’d been back then.
[Verse 2]
You believed the river’s promise
that you’d mend and still survive,
that the journey would be holy,
that it’d bring your soul to life.
But it twisted into nightmare,
tearing all you’d built inside—
your own balance, strength, and quiet,
every piece you tried to hide.
The tide stole parts of you
that you never knew were yours,
and you begged the waves for mercy
as they dragged you from the shore.
It was never dream nor refuge,
never path you could restore—
just a sea of hidden monsters
made to leave you wanting more.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Everything was shallow…
till the shallow broke apart.
Everything was laughter…
till the cold froze through your heart.
Everything was playful…
till the pain became the start.
Then you fought to keep your lifeline
as the silence pulled you hard,
leaving questions in the dark.
[Chorus]
’Cause nothing was that strong,
that forever, or that real.
Only echoes of a heartbreak
that refused to let you heal.
Now you weigh the truth in everything,
you measure what you feel.
And the shadows in the nighttime
show the cost of what was sealed.
[Bridge]
Everything you were is over.
Everything you knew is gone.
And the you you’ll meet tomorrow
won’t remember holding on
to the things that seemed eternal,
that were lighthouse, faith, and wall.
Now they feel so pale and distant,
like a past that’s not yours at all.
In the mirror’s quiet truth
you see the wreckage of the fall—
but you also glimpse a heartbeat
growing wild, alive, and tall.
Yes, the travel changed you deeply,
left no home within your core…
when another’s journey broke you
and rebuilt you even more.
[Final Chorus]
Now there’s nothing but the air
pushing you to move ahead,
let the shoreline that you lost go,
swim through everything you fled.
Find the person you’ll become now
when your lungs remember breath…
when at last you touch the sand again
and survive what brought you death.
When you finally rise again…
