Ghost Ship

Welcome to my ghost ship

The one I resurrected like the black pearl

And had it stay afloat in

And from the day I boarded on this vessel

I feel as though I've done a lap of every single ocean

And the seven seas too, but I got the wind on my sails and a good crew

Of men who grew up in the same neighborhood I knew

And I will turn to sail to where the sky's forever blue

Along the way I learned of lives I never knew

And I can't shut my mouth, who am I to hide the truth

But really, who am I, just a navigator

Guided by the north star and now my time is due

I'll keep floating down the river till you see a pale figure roll up saying how'd you do

I'm like columbus with the compass

So let me move

I've been rowing down the river so long

And I don't even know where I belong

It's hard to find the right life in this song

It's like my head feels tired but my heart's still strong.

As life goes on, the river takes me different places,

The fight goes on

This ship's lowering it's anchors

Cause I've been rolling down this river so long

So long, so long, I've been rolling down this river so long

So long, so long, I've been rolling down this river so long

So long, so long, I've been rolling down this river so long

So long, so long, I've been rolling down this river so long

I started in a raft, I made into a craft

Then I was gone at the rasing of the mast

I've seen pain behind my craft

Cross paths and I see your ship alike like the cutty sark

In the woods where the pirates throw

In the water where the pirates dwell

I never justify the odds I defied myself

I said I'll never make this, horrible scenario, shape shift, yeah

And all my crews got a few stars like a orion's belt

We make the pilgrimage here upon a river full of tears that were taken from lost souls

Left to cry in hell, a cry for help

Is what this started as, but now my life's sick like the psychotic pitbull it's barking mad

How I came from nothing, now I control the water ways your barge is banned

I've been rowing down the river so long

And I don't even know where I belong

It's hard to find the right life in this song

It's like my head feels tired but my heart's still strong

As life goes on, the river takes me different places

The fight goes on

This ship's lowering it's anchors

Cause I've been rolling down this river so long

So long, so long, I've been rolling down this river so long

So long, so long, I've been rolling down this river so long

So long, so long, I've been rolling down this river so long

So long, so long, I've been rolling down this river so long

My mum gave birth south of the thames,

Then I float down to this ghost town, now I call my ends

Where a county starts and the city ends

And I learned to be careful when you're picking friends

Between the few men we had to build a boat

Lie it low, just to keep the dream afloat

A lot of people thought that it was washed up

Hence the reason why they looked like they've seen a ghost

Call me brook, call me black beard or davy jones

One captain that will send your whole navy home

And I will never rest with my skeleton

Therefore it's relevant you'll never call me lazy bones

So welcome to my ghostship

That has promised me the one day it'll free my soul

So when the tide comes in upon the beat you know who knows

You know you might get to read my scrolls

I've been rowing down the river so long

And I don't even know where I belong

It's hard to find the right life in this song

It's like my head feels tired but my heart's still strong

As life goes on, the river takes me different places

The fight goes on

This ship's lowering it's anchors

Cause I've been rolling down this river so long

So long, so long, I've been rolling down this river so long

So long, so long, I've been rolling down this river so long

So long, so long, I've been rolling down this river so long

So long, so long, I've been rolling down this river so long
