Lyrics
This Ship
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Strange things on the ocean floor
Down where there is no light
No complications, just a
Simple kind of life
Less women, nighttime
Hard to know where I stand
With two feet on dry land
As treacherous as snakes and shifting sands
If you're looking for answers
If you're looking, don't look here
Don't look here
If you're looking for answers
If you're looking, don't look here
Don't look here
I know, I'm guaranteed to be watching
I'm guaranteed to be waiting
For something to change
I know, I'm guaranteed to be watching
I'm guaranteed to be waiting
For something to change
Strange things never seen before
Lost rooms and silence
Bumps in the night and stories
That we tell to children
A clear glass divide
No way to cross the line
They swim forever while I'm
Going out to watch the sea come in
If you're looking for answers
If you're looking, don't look here
Don't look here
If you're looking for answers
If you're looking, don't look here
Don't look here
I know, I'm guaranteed to be watching
I'm guaranteed to be waiting
For something to change
I know, I'm guaranteed to be watching
I'm guaranteed to be waiting
For something to change
This ship's sailed as far as it can
This ship's sailed as far as it can
This ship's sailed as far as it can
This ship's sailed as far as it can
This ship's sailed as far as it can
If you're looking for answers
If you're looking, don't look here
Don't look here
If you're looking for answers
If you're looking, don't look here
Don't look here
I know, I'm guaranteed to be watching
I'm guaranteed to be waiting
For something to change
What does it feel like to be something
To be something you're not?
(And we could never know)
I know, I'm guaranteed to be watching
I'm guaranteed to be waiting
For something to change
