Letra

So exhausted, I don’t feel the roaches on my face
20-hour days, rusty water, with no breaks
One meal, fighting rats for our plates
When the Westerners saw, they called us “slaves”
It’s just another name
I’ve been at sea so long, I gave up on counting days
They said that I could go home when my debt was fully paid
Somebody tried to get away and now he’s wearing chains
I don’t have time to get upset, I don’t have time for the blame
If I fumble with this net, then he hits me with his cane
We do not speak their language, they communicate through pain
Will this water be my grave?
Could this rotten boat survive another wave?
Our captain’s drinking – are we lost or on our way?
The sun bakes my thoughts into a glaze
That’s enough thinking for today…
It hadn’t rained in months, father’s farm was dust and dirt
Little brother screaming, mother shrunk inside her shirt
Men arrived with flashing smiles, said that they had work
A new hotel in Thailand, I could show what I was worth
I felt woozy after dinner, woke up with a sudden lurch
I thought about my father’s farm and wondered what was worse
Surrounded by this water, I still couldn’t quench my thirst
It cost a lot to get me here, I’d have to pay it first
Then I could go
It’s hard to tell how much I owe
And if the money reached my mother? I wouldn’t know
That’s all I wanna know
You rescued me months ago, so when can I go?
Is this all some kind of show?
I was fishing with their nets, now I’m filling up your notes
I’m a ghost – a man without a coast
I just float
