Gray skies, overcast giving me blue eyes Sparkle bright like cracks in a bottle, crooked lines I'm fine filling time with wine Filling my mind with fog and my blood with the fruit of the vine You spill a glass and it's a mess when it comes out Put it to your ear and you can hear how the sea sounds When it's alone, not a sailor to be found Out trying to find out whether it's round Captain please, would you mind telling the breeze To hold off while I'm trying to light a match It's not like I'm catching a disease from this fog that I'm breathing Just ignore the heaving Breakers roar, like gathered masses in a coliseum Set him up on the crest Where he's his best and we can all see him Being transparent, yet still filled with flotsam Jets himself to the top and hopes he doesn't get caught Man, it's funny how we say things are funny when they aren't at all But ultimately that's our call Sounds like I'm trying to stall I just don't want you to know how things are really going But you asked, so here it is, it's wide open How did I get lost at sea? Let's see if I can let go of everything on this boat To see if I can really float Anchors up, it's time to find a new berth/birth Time to find out what all your pontificating is worth You can talk all you want, but that wind won't fill the sails And your hull's full of holes 'cause you've been coughing up nails You're keelhauled, six feet under the waves There's no rest in a watery grave You feel small, like there's no one left who can save Just go west, young man, and be brave That's what they say, right? But the moonlight illumines a new plight The stars begin to fade and the Milky Way doesn't look right And navigation is a fruitless endeavor When you've ended up God knows where And it feels like it's been forever Never tell me the odds, because it will not change my behavior And at least I'll have an excuse for my failures ages later If I stay ignorant and blissful Just cruise like a missile Drift in the stars' general direction Just hoping to grab a fistful "Slipping through your fingers" is an old cliché But if you don't reach, it can't possibly end that way I told you it would be a mess But drink deeply, 'cause this is me at my best How did I get lost at sea? Let's see if I can let go of everything on this boat To see if I can really float
