Long Ships, Massive Hands

from Vasco Da Gama EP by Vasco Da Gama

/

lyrics

When the waves form and you see the storm,
Let it break, you don't want massive hands or massive feet
Sore when you hit the shore
Let it grow, don't plant yourself in sand

If i took a plane your wings might break when the comforts at home feed you indifference
Yes i'm going to sail and hope heroes live in long ships

In artificial light that we thought was ours, the pixels are paling without the stars
The listing boat that carries our sense of pride will only stay afloat with equal weight at either side

Link disasters each and every verse
No one needs donations of hindsight
When my head fills, it is not with guilt
Just some surge that's lifesize and catlike

The windows of your house are darkened down; stone targets rendered incoherent
It's witching where you are, this is no time for long ships
