Feel like old boat on a dead man's sea, With no rest before me If the sun don't stop its burning rays, It will surely leave its mark It's always here, The fortunes are still at our ease So don't be long, Just 'cause your heartaches are gone So you lost all the things that were close to your heart Like the name that was sewn on your sleeve It's all gone away, but it's my cut feet on the ground And i've seen it all, the one step sound It's a battered soul crown And now it's your cut feet on the ground You try to look up but still fall down And i sail on with the fish is under my skin And the words are thrown to the wind It's all too real, so i sail on On to the race again, As we learn to replace the men that we know It wasn't supposed to be so defeating and demeaning As our hearts are held over our heads Pushed along the rail Now my heart belongs to the sea, but my hands are tied to the wheel And all i know is my bondservant soul must soon be freed And as the flood tore into this haul, I looked in and saw my shell fall away 'cause this world is make believe An open eye is a window seat on a long ride back home On to the race again, As we learn to replace the men that we know It wasn't supposed to be so defeating and demeaning As our hearts are held over our heads Pushed along the rail
