how did we end
so far out

past praying
and past recall

to believe in nothing
is a faith in itself

a lighthouse
in the eye of the storm

the nightmare
of the nightmare

to follow the signal
of a ghost ship

our names are
written in water

the knowledge
is all around us

we came here
to be washed away

    My Interpretation

    To me this is about an abandonment of all hope. When you come to a point where you don't see any possibility of rescue & faith is but an echo of a distant memory.
