lyrics

Give or take what was once yours
Screaming “Man over board!”
It’s a story that I ain’t told

There’s a white whale in all of us
Would you put faith in what you can’t trust?
It’s a story that must be told…

But you sold me out to walk the plank
And the waves turned me upside down

People fake what was once real
Is there a moment that we could steal?
In a shipyard they’re drowning souls

There’s a black sky over us
Would you put faith in what you can’t trust?
It’s a story that must be told

But you sold me out to walk the plank
And the waves turned me upside down

There she blows, with a harpoon in her heart
Now she knows, I’ve been waiting all this time

Mirrored hate, what is their sake?
And they offer up your fate
By way of violence
Long John Silver!

But there’s a life boat in all of us
I will put faith in the one I trust
It’s a story that must be told....

But you sold me out to walk the plank
The waves turned me upside down
