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
