lines from this track were inspired by "drunken mouth kitchen smile" by the Lawrence Arms
lyrics
if I was ever sent
afloat on a sea of sinking feelings
water would breach my hull
and I'd jump ship before
the house band could play their final song
and can I keep this fire burning
fan the flames to keep
whatever cogs there are turning
just keep your head held high
to the northern horizon as we reach the border
red breasted and pale skinned
break from a table high drop like a porcelain
doll; what ever presence you had
threatening but still I cherish your words
and realize there was never a suspicion of malice
if there was any window
I was caged; flew to slow and
caught a wing between the glass and 'sill
but even if given chance I would perch
on the arm of the chair; it's still much safer there
if I were ever sent afloat
on a sea of sinking feelings
water would breach my hull
and my heart and will would be to drenched
to keep any fire I had burning
