The Boat (Acoustic)
All on this boat
All on this boat that we don't wana sink
Can we keep this afloat
Well we all wana think
That we all got the ways and the tools to explain
How to plug up the holes to escape our own fate
Can we slow down the leaks
Can we plug one that way
Yeah we think to the left when were so damn right brained
It's alright to expect yourself to analyze so
Why do we hide when we all have the same goals
And all that we know is that all of these angles
Are suffering held and encompassed
It's melted and molted and bolted to the ground
To the air we breathe
We all want a piece of the pot
Don't even know what we've got
Its raw and its energy and love
How can we spread all this wealth
How can we spread all this
Well
Picture yourself on a boat
Just tryna keep afloat
Picture a slow leak
Kindly and honestly persistently
Sometimes I think of a ship
And all of us inside of it
How can we feed the whole ship
How can we be well equipped when we're drowning in it
And the ocean will dip
And you'll feel like you lived under it
Picture yourself on a train
Breathe in the world and it's pain
How can we find a way
Take it and make an exchange
Somewhere that we can relate
In spite of all of the pain
Wouldn't that be great
Picture yourself in the sea
Picture just what you could be
You could be anything
All on this boat that we don't wana sink
Can we keep this afloat
Well we all wana think
That we all got the ways and the tools to explain
How to plug up the holes to escape our own fate
Can we slow down the leaks
Can we plug one that way
Yeah we think to the left when were so damn right brained
It's alright to expect yourself to analyze so
Why do we hide when we all have the same goals
And all that we know is that all of these angles
Are suffering held and encompassed
It's melted and molted and bolted to the ground
To the air we breathe
We all want a piece of the pot
Don't even know what we've got
Its raw and its energy and love
How can we spread all this wealth
How can we spread all this
Well
Picture yourself on a boat
Just tryna keep afloat
Picture a slow leak
Kindly and honestly persistently
Sometimes I think of a ship
And all of us inside of it
How can we feed the whole ship
How can we be well equipped when we're drowning in it
And the ocean will dip
And you'll feel like you lived under it
Picture yourself on a train
Breathe in the world and it's pain
How can we find a way
Take it and make an exchange
Somewhere that we can relate
In spite of all of the pain
Wouldn't that be great
Picture yourself in the sea
Picture just what you could be
You could be anything
