Lyrics

I thought I was a poet on a stage
I grew a beard to hide my lack of age
I tried to build a ship to sail offshore
I woke up with my hands all bruised and sore
Mouthsailor, what are we searching for?
Mouths striking another boat, another broken oar
I tried to be the singer in a band
Three times a night I'd step up to the stand
They'd pay to hear me sing of death and grief
It's hard to get by like this in a week
Mouthsailor, what are we searching for?
Mouths striking another boat, another broken oar
In this boat you start to realize
It's hard to steer with the stars in your eyes
Is there something left for me to try?
A paddle circles screaming at the sky
Mouthsailor, what are we searching for?
Mouths striking another boat, another broken oar
