about

A song about unrequited love and Moby Dick.

lyrics

Blinded by the veil
Steam rise to the sail

I set a course for the source
But the storm was in force
I can’t sleep can’t sing
So I sink softly
I kept cool for the catch
But my song was no match
Bear the wait bear the weight
Won’t you burn anyway

And I breathe smoke
Burn on burn on

It’s treacherous under the surface
Perilous your secret purpose
I go to the depths alone
To sink like a stone like a stone
Like a stone

Subtle the sea
Mighty the beast

I was only waiting for how you would say the word
I’m adrift with thoughts of your sweet discord
You crash against this rock but I am anchored in too deep
To move the madness and the mass that I keep

So I breathe smoke
Burn on burn on

It’s treacherous under the surface
Perilous your secret purpose
I go to the depths alone
To sink like a stone like a stone
Like a stone
