Bait - Sole & The Skyrider Band Lyrics




You think the ship is weathering the storm?

I think the vessel's been bombed too many times

The ocean is huge and unforgiving

The engineer is drunk in the captains cabin

I'm building a raft cuz I forgot how to swim

I'm into the current with no hopes of finding a new

continent

Who's gonna pick you up out of this place?

No forgotten saints will hide your tears in the waves



It's been seventy days since you've touched the ground

Your rib cage is in operate, your stomach is a

graveyard

Your teeth are falling out, you'll never eat your words

at this pace

All hands on deck, legs quivering in place

500 sharks swimming in a cult is your fate

Blistering and broken, all hope has left your face



You remember the last words of your crewmates

Deep down you tell yourself they were capture by

pirates

They're in a better place, or better yet drowning in a

puddle of Earth's sweat

You let it calm your feet, feel a nibbling and it slips

away

Look under what's left of your lifeboat, so much food

it was there all along

You use yourself for bait before it slips away

And when it rains upon your mouth and drink and you'll

see another day



You thought the ocean was a concrete jungle

Through on your game face, in the face of nothing

They went and threw a coffin to the wind

But your life was not swallowed by the ocean

The fish were caught, dried, you lasted for weeks

No terrible storms tore threw your home

And you wake up with a violent pecking in your back

You lie still, blood rushes through your skull

Grab it's feet, broke a wing and cracked its neck

Dry it in the sun, soon you're gaining weight



And on the ocean floor so much treasure, so many stolen

lives

So mane slave masters and stolen skulls in Trinidad

reefs

Might someday make a nice tourist visit

The millionaires and musicians and so many young'ns

from the Titanic

Still waiting for dinner to be served, waiting to be

brought up from the bottom

The joke is over, my thoughts wander, I wish I knew a

sea song

I wish I had a knife, I wish I had some sun block

But I'd rather be alone at sea, than on that boat with

no food

People turn cannibal, even crabs in a barrel are edible

Out here I've learned to feet myself, how to entertain

and destroy myself

I'm floating in wine and it feels like brine

The sharks are gone, the sun goes down by my mind stays

on

No drugs, no booze, no calls from mom

When your days are unnumbered, you're immortal

Nobody knows how long I was gone, cuz I never told

anyone I found land

How'd I survive? I threw myself to the wind and when I

was hungry

I used my soul for bait

In deaths jaws, I laughed and kicked and screamed and

sang

Till my lungs were filled with the blood of men and

women who never made it this far

I used us all for bait, I used them all for bait

You have no fate, no faith, only that of a stone in

space
