May these songs be an offense to our fathers
May they be a promise to the feral sons and daughters
Steadied by whiskey and ballast
A cannon to the sail set fire to the mast
Human constellations fallen from modern maps
So drag your bones down parchment roads, old warehouse walls
And throw your arms around this gunship heart
Buried low inside my chest
And we’ll throw away all we have left
And that’s all we have left
When the world gets heavy as the wind and the tow (3x)
When the world gets heavy as the wind…
Like the air sold from my lungs fishing for pearls at the bottom
Of a renegade sea
I tattooed ballads in your name
Just to hear you sing them back to me
May these songs be an offense to our fathers
May they be a promise to the feral sons and daughters
