about

A song exploring an artist's tumultuous relationship with inspiration, through the lens of a pirate story.

lyrics

I can’t keep count
I can’t amount
to this song I wrote
Floundering about
spitting up doubt
just to stay afloat

I’ll take the mistake
That’s lying in wait
If it means more time

But I’ve buried the trust
By kicking up dust
Just to ease my mind

But what do I care
What do I know?
If I’m going nowhere
How could I go?

Ooo, what is one to do
When all of this
All of it is through?
Will my body start anew?

They named me a martyr
But deep under water
They called me out

And with the start of the sleuth
For the god awful truth
I cracked like the lands of the drought

I’m tired and numb
And the lyrics won’t come
When I call for them

But they beckoned me here
To this helm that I steer
At the point of pen

Oh god, what have I done
Just to gather their grace?
I better run
They’re picking up pace

Ooo, what is one to do
When all of this
All of it is through?
Will my body body start anew?

Have I wrote it all down?
As they crash at the door
What a harrowing sound
The waves that feast on the shore

Ooo, what is one to do
When all of this
All of it is through?
Will my body start anew?
Will they bury me?
It’s true
It was I that sent for you
To carry me
Carry me through
What more could I do?
