fog's dew collects on aspen trees
it quivers and quakes as a boy stirs the breeze
having lost his contract to his life filled with ease
navy jacket tattered, home strewn away
miles, mere ticks in the brush by the bay
echoes, "no one here cares if you go or stay"
singing "the blackest of ships, by the sun soon turn grey"
"strongest ropes in the yard begin their slow fray"
"each step's impression whispers to say:
'cut ties, and cut time,' as they both fade away"
grip a small button once sewn on lapel
misty wind scrubbed from cold ocean swells
a frozen testament that there surely is hell
but each crystal melts and i seem to recall
a land away, homes surely outside my walls
stares on, submits power, a clocks hand.. crawls
singing "the blackest of ships, by the sun, soon turn grey"
"strongest ropes in the yard begin their slow fray"
"each step's impression whispers to say:
'cut ties, and cut time,' as they both fade away"
