Fools Ship

We float upon the fools ship Emotions and actions are our correspondence Messages in a bottle Derail our consciousness Well some are cannons While others are merely captives And if you jump overboard you will cease to exist Our names are written upon the passenger list We play our roles if only to persist Knowing that our mystery is reveal in bondage Knowing that my mystery is revealed in bondage I'm laying in the open water Heaven is above me Hell is far under baby And what shall we discover All these treasures are empty So I am sailing farther In the middle of serenity There lay a diamond fountain Blood was flowing rather readily Reminded me of my ancient ancestry Those that have lived and have died before me They alone hold the key to eternity The question remains girl with you dance with me To the notes of this makeshift universe We pretend all day all we do is rehearse I'm laying in the open water Heaven is above me Hell is far under baby And what shall we discover All these treasures are empty So I am sailing farther All the bandits and the lawyers The prostitutes and the priests The barters as well as the thieves Well they all sit upon the same feasting table Laughing and crying spilling fable after fable All are subjected to the same crucible Adhering to principles that their opposites ridicules For this environment is taunting and daunting The past present and future are always intertwining Yet in truth we are merely subjects That inhabit the vessel known as the fools ship I'm laying in the open water Heaven is above me Hell is far under honey And what shall we discover All these treasures are empty So I am sailing farther
