lyrics

I’m swinging from your mizzenmast,
you ought to cut me down fast
before the welcome party on the other shore
sees me, before

ample examples of your carbon-copy cartography,
dead demarcations in bottles
reach the beach.

Maybe I leapt to the sea.
Or maybe these handprints on my back
tell a different story.

You leafed through logs
and loosed the lifeboats,
hanged me with my own ropes,
the ropes I tried to use
to bind you to the mast

when you were
on the receiving end of sirens
I hope you were deafened by my splash,
because if their voices hit your ears this time,
after my burial at sea,
they’ll lure you to the rocks for sure;
no one will make it out alive.

I wrote these songs in the belly of a whale.
It’s a nice place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to live there.

I will keep swimming like I always do.
Even dead, I couldn’t bear to let myself just float.
