You think the ship is weathering the storm? I think the vessel's been bombed too many times The ocean is huge and unforgiving The engineer is drunk in the captains cabin I'm building a raft cuz I forgot how to swim I'm into the current with no hopes of finding a new continent Who's gonna pick you up out of this place? No forgotten saints will hide your tears in the waves
It's been seventy days since you've touched the ground Your rib cage is in operate, your stomach is a graveyard Your teeth are falling out, you'll never eat your words at this pace All hands on deck, legs quivering in place 500 sharks swimming in a cult is your fate Blistering and broken, all hope has left your face
You remember the last words of your crewmates Deep down you tell yourself they were capture by pirates They're in a better place, or better yet drowning in a puddle of Earth's sweat You let it calm your feet, feel a nibbling and it slips away Look under what's left of your lifeboat, so much food it was there all along You use yourself for bait before it slips away And when it rains upon your mouth and drink and you'll see another day
You thought the ocean was a concrete jungle Through on your game face, in the face of nothing They went and threw a coffin to the wind But your life was not swallowed by the ocean The fish were caught, dried, you lasted for weeks No terrible storms tore threw your home And you wake up with a violent pecking in your back You lie still, blood rushes through your skull Grab it's feet, broke a wing and cracked its neck Dry it in the sun, soon you're gaining weight
And on the ocean floor so much treasure, so many stolen lives So mane slave masters and stolen skulls in Trinidad reefs Might someday make a nice tourist visit The millionaires and musicians and so many young'ns from the Titanic Still waiting for dinner to be served, waiting to be brought up from the bottom The joke is over, my thoughts wander, I wish I knew a sea song I wish I had a knife, I wish I had some sun block But I'd rather be alone at sea, than on that boat with no food People turn cannibal, even crabs in a barrel are edible Out here I've learned to feet myself, how to entertain and destroy myself I'm floating in wine and it feels like brine The sharks are gone, the sun goes down by my mind stays on No drugs, no booze, no calls from mom When your days are unnumbered, you're immortal Nobody knows how long I was gone, cuz I never told anyone I found land How'd I survive? I threw myself to the wind and when I was hungry I used my soul for bait In deaths jaws, I laughed and kicked and screamed and sang Till my lungs were filled with the blood of men and women who never made it this far I used us all for bait, I used them all for bait You have no fate, no faith, only that of a stone in space
