Treason
 

 Written by L. Buckingham
 

 I called you up, they said you weren't there
Years ago I was low, why should I care?
I wandered down
Where the sky meets the sand
Closed my eyes, told you lies out of my hand

Deep down there is freedom
Deep down there will be a reason
At the end of the season
We will rise from this treason

I walked around moonlit skies
All alone, going home, hoping to fly
Face down in the ocean
Always gasping for air
Saw your face full of grace trying not to care

Deep down there is freedom
Deep down there will be a reason
At the end of the season
We will rise from this treason

I walk empty halls wondering what is true
Behind garden walls I search for you

Deep down in the ocean, deep down in the sea
Saw your face full of grace searching for me
Deep down there is freedom
Deep down there will be a reason
At the end of the season
We will rise from this treason

Deep down there is freedom
Deep down there will be a reason
At the end of the season
We will rise from this treason
We will rise from this treason
We will rise from this treason
We will rise from this treason

WEBMISTRESS speculates:

This song seems to be about a past relationship, "years ago," which was ended by the woman and left him swinging between despair and denial. However deep the betrayal, the "treason" of what occurred between them, in the end they know they will get past it.
