lyrics

You were what I wanted, and I hoped my summer fancy would catch your free spirit.
After spending a summer in his wake, trying to catch up to your bow, I finally did.
What I found was slightly disparaging; a boat with enough holes to actually be of concern for its sea-worthiness. Granted, I didn’t spot them till I was happily halfway out of the bay. If you were all that you’re cracked up to be I would have had the best trip of my life. Unfortunately, I didn’t know my strength and broke the rudder off by sheer willpower and took a halfhearted trip on a half assed boat.
If life was real I’d be out on the water, calling to the whales, skinny dipping and laughing at things that are funny because they aren’t.
I held your oars in my hands, but I didn’t think to push them. You were older than me, and the dings in the side showed that. You smoked when I started you up and remained a chimney for the remainder of the trip. You took on fluids like you had a hole the size of my head, and I couldn’t bail out fast enough.
I took the time to be thoughtful, and made sure that everything I gave to you was more than it had to be, but thoughts are lost on the thoughtless.
I harnessed every ounce of strength to try and bring us to shore, but you capsized far before I even saw the jetty, forcing me to swim to the sand and lay gasping for air on my side, like a fish removed from the water, gasping for air, but only receiving the wrong kind.

So he goes back to his dismal room and makes new and unique music forms to release his frustration with all things frustrating. ... more
