Long Ships, Massive Hands

When the waves form
And you see the storm
Let it break, you don't want massive hands
Or massive feet
Sore when you hit the shore
Let it grow, don't plant yourself in sand
When the waves form
And you see the storm
Let it break, you don't want massive hands
Or massive feet
Sore when you hit the shore
Let it grow, don't plant yourself in sand

If I took a plane your wings might break
When the comforts at home
Feed you indifference
Yes I'm going to sail
Hope heroes live in long ships

In artificial light that we thought was ours
The pixels are paling without the stars
This listing boat that carries our sense of pride
Will only stay afloat with equal weight at either side

Link disasters
Each and every verse
No one needs donations of hindsight
When my head fills
It is not with guilt
Just some surge
That's lifesize and catlike

The windows of your house are darkened down
Stone targets rendered incoherent
It's witching where you are
This is no time for long ships

In artificial light that we thought was ours
The pixels are paling without the stars
This listing boat that carries our sense of pride
Will only stay afloat with equal weight at either side
In artificial light that we thought was ours
The pixels are paling without the stars
This listing boat that carries our sense of pride
Will only stay afloat with equal weight at either side
