Karl Schubach (Misery Signals) - Ebb & Flow Acoustic (2014) video free download

As most of you know, this isn't a new song by any means. It was originally released on Misery Signals' Controller album in 2008. However, the meaning behind the lyrics has grown increasingly more important to me as of late. This Valentine's Day, I wanted to share it with everyone in a slightly new light, in a sort of attempt to breathe new life into it.

I didn't write the lyrics to Ebb & Flow about a specific person. Instead, I wrote it with the idea that one day I'd be fortunate enough to put a name and face to the words. I can say, with confidence, today is that day.

Madeleine Lepage, this is my gift to you.

Lyrics

======

Revive a sense of hope

Amidst these abandoned dreams

Rewrite what it is to feel

In hopes it will carry me home

Drift in and out

The light of morning drags me back

I need release

Separate this body from my mind

Send me home

My conscience there to send me off to sleep

When I need you closer

For when I wake, I am greeted by shades of grey

I'll return to you

In dreams, the sun sets in our eyes

In dreams, we'll never be apart

In dreams, I promise you'll never be alone

How much I wish your voice could send me home
