Were you to look beneath the beard Into relation ships I've steered Straight to a last horizon grave Of passiongers I couldn't save Perhaps you'd sea this dark blue face Reflects my grotesque happy place Where I do my deepest sinking Trenched in Marianas thinking Ever tied to lament blocks From crashing on existence rocks
The anchors of my ego's gold That monstrous me creatures hath sold Charybdis maelstrom consciousness Leviathans of meaningless Release the kraken to reveal The siren songs she made me feel My sails surrendered to her kiss But plundered too much black abyss A pirate's life of *** and coke Not worth its weight in cannon smoke
Left me adriftwood wandering The lonely shorelines pondering Why does the faithful sun still rise Aware that it just sets and dies Surely there must be some dry lands With castles of the whitest sands Such constructs will essentially Just wash away eventually Remembered not by some divine Forgotten in the wake of time
No marks I've made can drown out death No words I write return the breath That Aphrodite set in foam And then shipwrecking me to roam My cargo hold of loveless cells To piece back broken-hearted shells Consider this next time you ask What lies submerged beneath this mask A dead man's chest that finds its peace In nothing but when all things cease
