作曲 : MewithoutYou | |
I do not exist | |
We faithfully insist | |
Sailing in our separate ships | |
And from each tiny caravel | |
Tiring of trying | |
There's a necessary dying | |
Like the horseshoe crab | |
In its proper season sheds its shell | |
Such distance from our friends | |
Like a scratch across the lens | |
Made everything look wrong | |
From anywhere we stood | |
Our paper flew away | |
Before we'd left the bay | |
So half-blind we wrote these songs | |
On sheets of salty wood | |
Caught me making eyes | |
At the other boatmen's wives | |
And heard me laughing louder | |
At the jokes told by their daughters | |
I'd set my course for land | |
But you well understand | |
It takes a steady hand | |
To navigate adulterous waters | |
The propeller's spinning blades | |
Held acquaintance with the waves | |
As there's mistakes I've made | |
No rowing could outrun | |
The cloth low on the mast | |
Like to say I've got no past | |
But I'm nonetheless | |
The librarian and secretary's son | |
With tarnish on my brass | |
And mildew on my glass | |
I'd never want someone so crass | |
As to want someone like me | |
But a few leagues off the shore | |
I bit a flashing lure | |
And I assure you | |
It was not what I expected it to be | |
I still taste its kiss | |
That dull hook in my lip | |
Is a memory as useless | |
As a rod without a reel | |
To an anchor ever-dropped | |
Seasick yet still docked | |
Captain spotted napping | |
With his first mate at the wheel | |
Floating forgetfully along | |
With no need to be strong | |
We keep our confessions long | |
And when we pray we keep it short | |
I drank a thimble full of fire | |
And I'm not ever coming back | |
Oh, my God | |
I do not exist | |
We faithfully insist | |
While watching sink the heavy ship | |
Of everything we knew | |
And if ever you come near | |
I'll hold up high a mirror | |
Lord, I could never show you | |
Anything as beautiful as You |
