‘a happy shipwreck’ by Captain B

a happy shipwreck

a happy shipwreck
i die every night
and am born again
every day

at least that’s how it’s been going

one day i’ll figure it out
or not
and it’ll all be over
and i won’t care

all conditions, charts, and compasses
indicate to steer clear of that storm
but she’s too enticing

yarrrrrrr!
i’ll be a happy shipwreck

maybe none of the others
knew how to navigate those waters
maybe i’m the man

i’ll keep a log

i’ve got provisions
my face is cut by the sun
my skin is salty

going to make it or break it
some horizons just beg too convincingly
