My Ship Isn't Pretty
The telegraph gave us hope
Before was the silence and the panic it brought
The sky was the blankest sheet
We drew lines upon it so our thoughts could meet
Through cables black and cold
We carried our intentions to bridge and bring home
Would it all be so clear if the lines were erased
And the silence restored?
Boys of today write lines on walls
In the streets at night in suburbs of cities with no name
Is this destruction or just quiet protest
Against loneliness?
The cargo lies in our laps
The weight is so heavy and this is all we know
Our message will need a ship
To travel across oceans that can't otherwise be crossed
It undulates on the waves
And crashes the water so we can be safe
It undulates on the waves
And crashes the water so we can be safe
Before was the silence and the panic it brought
The sky was the blankest sheet
We drew lines upon it so our thoughts could meet
Through cables black and cold
We carried our intentions to bridge and bring home
Would it all be so clear if the lines were erased
And the silence restored?
Boys of today write lines on walls
In the streets at night in suburbs of cities with no name
Is this destruction or just quiet protest
Against loneliness?
The cargo lies in our laps
The weight is so heavy and this is all we know
Our message will need a ship
To travel across oceans that can't otherwise be crossed
It undulates on the waves
And crashes the water so we can be safe
It undulates on the waves
And crashes the water so we can be safe
