lyrics

Our bodies sway from the gallows
Drunk ships 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 that endless sea.
If this is how I die
Tell my son - he never knew me.

Following the rhymes of broken lines
Of love, loss, and things I’m thinking,
I’m writing letters to myself.
Dear god -- the horizon’s shrinking.

Encrypted manuscripts of lives we should’ve shared.
One day you took to sea
& the letters you wrote, they never reached me.

When we dance, we dance alone.
Our bodies strain we took to song.
The flagship’s falling -- it won’t be long.
When you take to sea. Sing this song.

When we danced, we danced alone.
Our bodies swayed under the sinking sun.
Our flagship’s falling -- it won’t be long.
When you take to sea I hope you hear my song.

When we danced like lovers, we danced alone.
Singing to the stars -- a sea of endless drones.
We are all alone.

Let me drown in the endless sea.
Tell my son.
