lyrics

all these proxies, falling like I fell
too far from the mark
like tears from the thundering well
of love's eviscerating swell
drink this bottle to the bottom
the dregs will tell
of my transgressions

I'm the ghost ship
breaking wakes with her tattered sails
I'm the captain
killing his crew for the sake of a white whale
you're the storming wind
that always prevails
you are my star-crossed heavens
you are my
star-crossed heavens

telling tales of a soul's last shrieking knell
of Nietzsche's dragon rusting
with "Thou Should Have" scales
resting upon the ferryman's trusty prow
that Fate-ladened bow...

I'm the ghost ship
breaking wakes with her tattered sails
I'm the captain
killing his crew for the sake of a white whale
you're the storming wind
that always prevails
you are my star-crossed heavens
you are my
star-crossed heavens

place the coins now
in my mouth
to pay the toll
of oaths mortal tongues spit their curses upon
knowing well the cost
while failing to count the weight
of burdens too great
too great
to bear.

I'm the ghost ship
breaking wakes with her tattered sails
I'm the captain
killing his crew for the sake of a white whale
you're the storming wind
that always prevails
you are my star-crossed heavens
you are my
star-crossed heavens

together, tattoo the legends
of our map
upon
each other's fragile
skins...
