How to Sail (Step 1)

If your ear can sit close to the truth that waits
On the melon shaped parking lot meters of fate
And wait for the fish to come nibbling at your lobes
Than perhaps meaning'll cease to allude you babe

And if your sadness can stop for two moments or so
If your happiness genes aren't afraid to be shown
It remains to be seen and it's all speculatory
But it's my confidence that you'll grow

So let your joy spread like leprosy encompassing your form
Though your fragile faith's existent, it's still waiting to be born
Let it hatch into a helmsman unafraid of storm or gale
Cause sailing's in his genes
And his confidence it gleams
For in his shell he learned how to sail

When the people who care really couldn't care less
And white liars are swearing at you by semi-selflessness
And your small bucket of give-a-shit is running kinda low
Let it go, hope belongs in the mess
And if you're bored of your brawling with sorrow's petty thieves
She that steals glee and cheer and then curtly turns to leave
Carry this blue flower on the way to your rebirth
Lay it in the ashen hair of the beareaved

It becomes really clear we're really not just who we are
We are what we think others think so let them mothers think you're far
Far away from petty prophecy of nigh impending doom
Tis really out of place my friend, to moan a frozen fate
When you're thawing out in your own warm little room

When your life seems to be reams of blank white sheets
And the only other color is the blood spattered streets
Pick a paper, prick an index finger, make an oath to joy
Never give your doubt a need to repeat

Though there be pain all around you there is life you cannot miss
So to hell with all those blockheads who think ignorance is bliss
We are fragile as old webbing in our vapid human form
But while the spider weaves, the Master Chimney Sweeper plans to leave
No traces of the strings of dark that sorrow brings
The flies of all our pain, just shells is all that remains
Good Charlotte's sucked 'em dry, you can see their crystal eyes
Cease glimmering at woe, today they are no more
Cause Yeshua's taken all His children home.
