Sailor, sailor
You lost your anchor
You lost your atlas
Sailor, sailor
You killed your comrades
And there's no place on land for you
Sailor, sailor
They told you to never come back
They told you to stop breathing
Sailor, sailor
And how about all the pain that you felt?
Have you lost your heart?
Sailor, sailor
They hate you
You are death itself, they say
Sailor, sailor
Are the tailor and the midnight boy in peace?
Are their ghosts still haunting you?
Sailor, sailor
Have you lost the fear of that boat?
That old broken boat that is you
Sailor, sailor
Did you feel the smell of home?
Your comrades are on land
Sailor, sailor
How do you navigate on the gorge?
How do you fight with the despair?
Sailor, sailor
I found your anchor and your atlas
But they belong to another sir
Sailor, sailor
Did you give up on your destiny?
You abandoned your crew
Sailor, sailor
Where will be your burial?
Because you're dead after all
Sailor, sailor
If I say that I hate you
Because you left your crew?
Sailor, sailor
You would answer me
If I said that I hate you?
Sailor, sailor
If you're dead after all
Why am I a ghost?
Sailor, sailor
Where is your heart?
Because I don't want to suffer anymore
Sailor, sailor
Who are you after all?
Because I'm a spectre of who you've been
Sailor, sailor
If I **** my comrades
And leave the crew
Sailor, sailor
Am I going to be free from this despair?
Will the darkness leave me?
Sailor, sailor
Why am I so sad
If I'm a lonely ghost?
Sailor, sailor
They say that you are the worst
The one who should never have existed
Sailor, sailor
What does it say about me?
If you had not been born after all
How could I be here?
Sailor, sailor
If you recover your anchor and your atlas
If you recover your crew
Do you accept me?
Sailor, sailor
If you are alive after all
Can you lend me your name?
Because I'm tired of suffering
Sailor, sailor
If I'm your heir
Do you let me sail on that old boat?
Sailor, sailor
Do you let me be the death itself?
Because I don't want to suffer anymore.
Sailor, sailor
Do you let me be just a ghost
Wandering aimlessly through the darkness?
Sailor, sailor
Do you let me **** myself
In order that I don't make anyone suffer anymore?
Sailor, sailor
Why did everything change?
It was easier when we were all dreamers
Sailor, sailor
I want to be a sailor again
In order that I can feel the smell of home
Sailor, sailor
If I'm not a sailor anymore
Can I leave the boat?
Sailor, sailor
I want to embrace the sea
Sailor, sailor
I want to bleed with the sea.
Sailor, sailor
I want to understand completely
Why I stopped being a sailor
Sailor, sailor
I'm going to become your comrade
We will be dead after all.
Part of a story and a kind of a pour out the feelings too.
