Our bodies sway under gallows
Drunkships and lanterns sinking
Our hearts used to beat for forever
With the pressing of our lips we save face
With dull quills we carve paths
Rivers of ink leading us away
Like lovers we embrace
The tide is begging us to stay
If this is how it ends
Let me drown in the endless sea
If this is how I die
Tell my son he never knew me

When we dance, we danced alone
Our bodies strain, we took to song
The flag ships falling, it won't be long
When you take to sea, sing this song

Following the ryhmes of broken lines
Of love loss and things I'm thinking
I've been writing letters to myself
Dear god horizons shrinking
Encrypted manuscripts of love
We should have shared
One day you took to sea
And the letters you wrote
They never reached me

When we dance, we danced alone
Our bodies sway, under the sinking sun
The flagships falling, it won't be long
When you take to sea, I hope you here me song
When we danced like lovers, we danced alone
Singing to the stars a sea of endless drone
We're all alone, We are all alone
We're alone, we are all alone

Let me drown in the endless sea
Tell my son, Tell my son
He never knew me
