lyrics

(verse 1)
I’m just a boat
Floating on the sea
The waves wave at me
I wait patiently
For wind to push my sail even though it’s always happening
No man’s an island but everyone’s a captain
This water’s infinite but once I’m divin into it
I intuitively become too intimate –
Artillery is artistry; it’s all ammo here
i’m swimming in my arteries my hands hold fear
so I’m sinking in this part of me
thinking that it’s hard to be on varsity
listening with Van Gogh’s ear
should I - pull the plug and let the water down the drain
empty out this ocean of devotion, emotion and pain
my mouth is watering
but blood is thicker than the picture that you picture when you drown your tears in liquor
i’m a swimmer in tsunamis
a swami in this slaughter
the story that I tell is of hell and high water it’s

(verse 2)
did you know that I grew up to believe that writin a novel isn’t novel
i’m full of awe but never awful
rofl
all full of water is my ship
I fall off of the lip of the cliff taking notes as I drift
lift and raise my sail to no avail
so available I write with no veil so frail is my flow
I stay warm though
Mighty oaks from little acorns grow
Might the yoke from in a egg turn slow
To a nectar
And then petrol
Patrol the tides and control the mast
Cajole the masses amassed outside
I’m a ship in this mist even if I’m dismissed by business or listlessness
I exist
amidst the richness of quickness and imprints of figment princes
I swim in pigment
It’s just
