Testi

You think the ship is weathering a storm

I think the vessel's been bombed too many times

The ocean is huge and unforgiving

The engineer is drunk and the cabin's captive

I'm building a raft cause I forgot how to swim into the current

With no hopes of landing on a new continent

Who's gonna pick you up out of this place?

No forgotten saints will hide your tears in the waves

It's been 70 days since you touched the ground

Your ribcage isn't up for it, your stomach is a graveyard

Your teeth are falling out, you never eat, you work at this pace

All hands on deck, legs quivering in place

500 Sharks swimming in the cold as you face

Blistering and broken, all hope has left your face

You remember the last words of your crewmates

Deep down you tell yourself they were captured by pirates

They're in a better place or better yet

Drowning in a puddle of the earth's sweat

You let it calm your feet

Feel it nibbling and it slips away

Look under what's left of your lifeboat

So much food, it was there all along

Use yourself for bait, use yourself for bait

Use yourself for bait before it slips away

And when it rains, open your mouth

And drink and you'll see another day

You thought the ocean was a concrete jungle

Threw on your game face in the face of nothing

They would have threw a coffin to the wind

But your life was not swallowed by the ocean

Fish were caught, dried, you lasted for weeks

No terrible storms tore through your home

You wake up to a violent pecking in your back

And you lie still, blood rushes to your skull

Copped your teeth, broke your wing and cracked its neck

Dried in the sun, now you're gaining weight

And on the ocean floor, so much treasure

So many stolen lives, so many slave masters

And stolen skulls and Trinidad reefs

Might someday make a nice tourist visit

For millionaires and musicians

And so many youngins from the Titanic

Still waiting for dinner to be served

Waiting to be brought up from the bottom

The joke is over, my thoughts wander

I wish I knew a sea song, I wish I had a knife

I wish I had some sunblock, but I'd rather be alone at sea

Than on that boat with no food, people turn cannibal

Even crabs in a barrel are edible

Out here I learned to feed myself

How to entertain and destroy myself

I'm floating in wine and it feels like brine

The sharks are gone, the sun goes down but my mind stays on

No drugs, no booze, no calls from mom

When your days are unnumbered, you're immortal

Nobody knows how long I was gone

Because I never told anyone I found land

How'd I survive? I threw myself to the wind

And when I was hungry, I used my soul for bait

And death's jaws laughed and kicked and screamed and sang

Till my lungs were filled with the blood of men and women

Who never made it this far

I used us all for bait, I used myself for bait

You have no fate, no faith, only that of a stone in space
