lyrics

You sleep so hard,
you crease your face
in the night.
Your body doesn't move
under the weight of the moonlight.

(chorus)
You wake to find your ship's come in,
but instead of docking at the port, it keeps sailing.
It's sailing on.
(It's sailing on, you never saw this coming on)

Outside, the crickets roar,
the waves beat on the shore,
inside you dream of more.
You miss the maidenhead
and now you bleed in your bed,
gored by a broken oar.

(chorus)

Now the day throws the fight
and lays down to the night.
All hope is lost
until dawn.
