this notion of alone is one I’ve all too often known my friends fell overboard the times we spent wash up on shore they’re drowning in a sea of my cries and silent pleas there’s a red sky every morning but I’m still not taking warning I’ve forsaken a sense of direction for a better sense of diction but these words can’t sail a boat as I’m slowly finding out and my heart acts like an anchor the way it will not let me leave here and my mind acts like a sail the winds pushing me straight to hell
my family raised me well father taught me how to sail mother blessed me with her love I’m often undeserving of grandpa’s ghost is by my side says “everybody has their time” grandpa died when I was young death makes you feel old enough I was a child bore in spring brought to life by the april rain I’ll be a man who dies in winter I’ll be a man who dies at home I’ll be a man who lives forever spending his whole life all alone I’ll be a man when the world lets me and it’s letting me all too soon
