Well I've grown so tired,
Traveling off to distant lands, beg to go further every mile
Cause the sea is an awful home
and the tide just makes the land seems so much more empty and alone
Hold fast and steady this tour has no ending in sight
Tell the crew to get ready, they're in for the ride of their lives
Holding your arms as I stare into your Dramamine eyes
I saw this storm coming, I watched it damn near every night
Cause it hurts so much to wake up the way the swallow birds sing
All I wanted was a pale blue floor to sleep
And I've traveled a thousand miles across this endless empty sea
And all I wanted was an angel, she came to me
Murder your captain for abandoning this sinking ship
In a bedroom with gypsies they capture me with loose, salty lips
Apologize cause your apology hold fast and fires
I tremble, I shake like a sinner who's standing on trial
And every time I drink, I'll watch that old boat sink
And I'll send a letter out, another bottle
And I'll forget about the torture of that sick, unhealthy sea
And I'll scribble down "please maiden, come back to me"

Perfectly encapsulates the teenage experience. Finding this album while still young and in high school was the best decision I've made in quite awhile. charlesjr

one of the best and most excellent midwest emo record there is! amazingly well mixed for midwest emo. waterbed from this record compared to their mv version proves how important a good mix is, because suddenly this song sounds a lot more raw yet well produced in here. singaporecentralemo
