lyrics

lost my last ship to the raging sea
which took my last wooden love from me
the people back home won’t ever understand
this severing of my right hand

the flag’s out at front at half mast today
my cold body in bed sits half passed away
the beach looks nice but I can’t get through it
thought of new future but rather did screw it
this wheel’s not the same
storebought, the wrong game

doctor can’t fix what nature broke
father can’t pray while his daughters smoke
I wish I were them sometimes, earthbound and free
instead I white out, floating heavenbound me
heaven, what a place
do they have a sea in space?
if I reach high enough will they take me in?
the stars and the gas halo sun
the god with the paintball gun
and his miserable holy son
