Great Sailor

Oh great sailor do not hide behind the shadows
True that every breathe presents a battle
But then again without the struggle
Would victory come to mean fuck afll

Oh great sailor do not hide behind the shadows
True that every breathe presents a battle
But then again without the struggle
Would victory come mean fuck all

To bear the thought in isolation
Is to become the thoughts possession
Do we all have ghosts on our back? I know I
Do we all have scars from demon lovers?

I know i do
I know i do

Talk close to me again
My oldest friend
Intimate the tones
That i am not alone
Tell me you're along on this hearts journey
Tell me without speaking that you need me

I need your breathe upon my soul
I give up the illusion of control
I become a vessel to set sail
For the wind and the sea
Oh great sailor, come and teach me
Oh great sailor, come and reach me

The houses we keep open for the muses
So they will not be turned away when they come for tea
When i don't give a fuck just what the use is
When i withstand the punishment of what the voices say

I know i do
I know i do
I know i do
I know i do

To forsake your greatest lover
To become the fodder for the rotting of a soul
To see the flowers start to whither
Is to become the reason for the fruit that fills the bowl

Be close to me again my oldest friend
Steady my whole body so that my aim is true
Is your will the wind or the oceans wave

Let me ride the surf on what my lover made
