Ocean Floor / This Is The Time (Ballast) [feat. Eric Groot] Songtext
von Lauren Babic

When did we become these sinking stones?
When did we build this broken home?
Holding each other like ransom notes
Dropping our hearts to
Grip our brother′s throat

I'm on the bottom of the ocean floor

Eye for eye, drowning
Just to keep the score
Blaming the world outside ourselves
Surrounded by mirrors in a sinking shell

When did we become these sinking stones?

When did we build this broken home?
Holding each other like ransom notes
Dropping our hearts to
Grip our brother′s throats


You can't see because you don't know
You′re caught below,
Beneath your own shadow
Stuck inside, half alive
Do you ever stop to ask yourself why?
Close your mind, identify
Do you feel, do you feel?
Do you call this a life?
All you waited for
Drowning just to keep score

We always start with good intentions

But lose ourselves along the way

This is the time that we let it go

These are the words
That will take us home
Singing the song that′s inside us all
If we don't open our
Eyes we′re walking blind

Anchored in anger, we exile ourselves

Bitter blood builds our prison cell
Darker water now fills our lungs
The depths of our heart
Have blacked the sun


You can't see because you don′t know
You're caught below,
Beneath your own shadow
Stuck inside, half alive
Do you ever stop to ask yourself why?
Close your mind, identify
Do you feel, do you feel?
Do you call this a life?
All you waited for
Drowning just to keep score

We always start with good intentions

But lose ourselves along the way

This is the time that we let it go

These are the words
That will take us home
Singing the song that′s inside us all
If we don't open our
Eyes we're walking blind

Naked we come, naked we leave

Fools we are, to hold tightly
We are free, we are free
We are the jail, we are the key

This is the time that we let it go

Yeah, these are the words
That will take us home
Singing the song that′s inside us all
If we just open our eyes

This is the time that we let it go
This is the pain we are forced to know
Singing the song that′s inside,
Inside us all, inside us all

Walking blind
