I thought that I knew love
But it was just a wave crashing over us
And in the breaths between the ones we meant to breathe
I had my head under my feet
You knew the way things were
You knew the way they would be
We knew exactly how it’d end
Strays on a stale sea
Oh anchor the engine to a canyon far beneath
Water rushed up from the boards below
So I started slicking my hair with the kerosene
You knew the way things were
You knew the way they would be
We knew exactly how it’d end
And I’m preparing for a burial at sea
But I can see the lighthouse
Yet I’m praying that these waters don’t take me
Cause I can see the lighthouse
I was screaming that the ship was sinking
But you were telling me to just keep drinking
Corded in the parts again
Arms and legs at the bottom of the ocean
And the thing that made it so much harder
Was the fact that you were someone’s daughter
I knew the way things were
I knew the way they would be
I knew exactly how it’d end
And I can see the lighthouse
And I’m preparing for a burial in sea
But I can see the lighthouse
Yet I’m praying that these waters don’t take me
Cause I can see the lighthouse
Yeah I can see the lighthouse
I thought that I knew love
But it was just a wave crashing over us
Not the biggest fan of the video but the song is phenomenal! It's songs like this that make me remember why I fell in love with you guys in the first place.
You guys are amazing. I really hope you actually do a project with Tommy Rodgers. Between the buried and me and dear hunter tour together. That explosion of emotion would be just too much to handle.
The intro is so similar to intro to "The Carnival of the Animals: XIII. The Swan." I was listening to it to help me concentrate on a few big work projects and it blew my mind. Love it!
Waves
The Dear Hunter
I thought that I knew love
But it was just a wave crashing over us
And in the breaths between the ones we meant to breathe
I had my head under my feet
You knew the way things were
You knew the way they would be
We knew exactly how it'd end
Strays on a stale sea
Oh anchor the engine to a canyon far beneath
Water rushed up from the boards below
So I started slicking my hair with the kerosene
You knew the way things were
You knew the way they would be
We knew exactly how it'd end
And I'm preparing for a burial at sea
But I can see the lighthouse
Yet I'm praying that these waters don't take me
'Cause I can see the lighthouse
I was screaming that the ship was sinking
But you were telling me to just keep drinking
Corded in the parts again
Arms and legs at the bottom of the ocean
And the thing that made it so much harder
Was the fact that you were someone's daughter
I knew the way things were
I knew the way they would be
I knew exactly how it'd end
And I can see the lighthouse
And I'm preparing for a burial in sea
But I can see the lighthouse
Yet I'm praying that these waters don't take me
'Cause I can see the lighthouse
Yeah I can see the lighthouse

I'm digging this video. I'm so glad that it does have some strong similarities to the actual concept of the Acts. I just can't wait for someone with a lot of money and talent in the film industry to realize that Casey has a good two to four movies on his hands.
I find it kinda sad that bands have a hard time making befitting music videos for their concept albums. Because they need music videos for distribution but the songs are mostly supposed to play off the imagination. As soon as Act 6 comes out I DEMAND A PLAY, CASEY.
