I wrote this song with some pals back in 2012.
I do all the lyrics and vocals.

Call Me The Dreamer - Miles Away
The sun has set and it's darkness that remains
A roaming ship sails upon the crashing waves
Weathered, and alone
The sailor has emerged and takes steps to the boats top deck
Disoriented and confused
overwhelmed with such pain, and such strife
That the sailor never stops to question
The very circumstances of life
X marks the spot
Of all the things the sailor seeks
But whats hidden inside that chest
Is anyone's guess it seems
And so the journey begins
But as the sailor sets sail
Pirates appear upon the horizon
Armed with cannons and a cut throat crew
And I stand here wondering if you've come to realize
that the sailor in this story, well, it's actually you
And through the smoke and the fire, as you sail to survive
You swear you hear the ocean screaming
"No one gets out alive!"
And as we sail to the unknown
an anchor pulls us to the bottom of the ocean floor
They've called me home! Out on the open sea!
Everything I've ever searched for seems to keep eluding me!
Where have I roamed? There's no land as far as I can see.
I'm so lost, will I be found?
Or will I search for an eternity?
Shipwreck, Shipwreck
I am lost at sea
This voyage has me stranded
And you're miles away from me
The waves have me
I fear I'll drown
No sight of you
No hope is found
Am I alone?
Where are you now?

The song is a metaphor or parable about the life experience that we all deal with. I wrote it from my perspective battling sin and trying to keep myself Christ centered all the while experiencing doubt and what I perceived at the time to be abandonment.
