For the shore could not - Edit 1

[Tiger the Lion]

Hello Rit, and welcome to the site. I mostly like this. A few thoughts below...

For the shore could not - I would take "For" out of the title. More on this later.

We stepped into the stolen lives - is "the" needed here? It confuses me
Our mistakes forgotten
A clean slate -a cliche line- and probably redundant to L2
The somnolent youth in the back seat
Of the bus
In a land of dreams 
seeping in -you might consider not capping at the line starts- as you depart from that here for only 2 lines, I begin to wonder where to separate the ideas- especially as there is little punctuation
through the earphones
Or identities less consequential than his: "or" or "our"?
Curious
Tailless memories
Dotting a landscape of tedium- a little abstraction here, but works regardless

The day was no more a prison
Than the night
The dark no worse a sanctuary than the crowd- I think you could do better than "worse". Elaborate
We brought wood to the fire
For warmth and smell
We brought stillness to the river
For the shore could not.- "for" is a tricky word when used like because" I sorta works here but can often sound a mix of preachy and archaic- especially in a last line. I would recommend  taking it out of the title as a little buffer against.

Good luck with this. I like it.
