You can tell me what it's about to you <3

Recorded at Spring Street Records using Tascam 388 mixing board

lyrics

There's a boat, and it is rocking
Greeting sounds of waves and talking
To the Captain, what's the deal
Is anything you're saying real
I sure hope that I can rest
Once I find a better nest
Are you listening, Captain dear
Or am I speaking far too near

These walls are poorly painted
The yellow lights are dull
I think my mind is tainted
My thoughts over the hull
Oh, ship, carry me
Beyond the sight of this rough sea

Is this bliss or ignorance
Self-hatred disguised as innocence
Don't get to know myself
So I thought I'd get to know you well
Or at least who I thought you'd be
I'm still hoping, we'll just wait and see
Faith is all you're asking for
And good, because I can't give you more

These walls are poorly painted
The yellow lights are dull
I think my mind is tainted
My thoughts over the hull
Oh, ship, carry me
Beyond the sight of this rough sea

These walls are poorly painted
The yellow lights are dull
I think my mind is tainted
My thoughts over the hull
Oh, ship, carry me
Beyond the sight of this rough sea
