lyrics

See this plank? I’m walking it.
The bitter taste, It’s confidence wavering, lost.
We’re taking on water fast.
This pirate ship, sinking to the depths is the cost.

This story must be told.
So they know they’re not alone.
I’ll send a paper sailboat so they do.

Keep it frank, as time is lost.
The albatross, clipped of wings it soars to the beyond.
Weakness, in attitudes,
Falsified, in characters so we can keep it on.

This story must be told.
So they know they’re not alone.
I’ll send a paper sailboat so they do.

Paint it up in paraffin. With even coats, paper thin.
The weather’s dark. It’s seeping in.
I’m sure we’ll make it through.

This story must be told.
So they know they’re not alone.
I’ll send a paper sailboat so they do.

We’ll scream these words out loud.
They’ll know just what we’ve found.
I’ll send a paper sailboat so they do.

I’m sure that we will make it through.
