lyrics

There will always be, crooked men and the sea
Or god has lost. Control.
Well the seas can’t be tamed
The crooked men are deranged.
But they’d both swallow you whole.

They move sheathed in shadows
Hiding in plain sight, you’d never know, they’re…. there….
And each of these shadows….. like a new-born disease
Kills hearts like winter kills…. The…. Trees…

The man I met, was as crooked as they come.
He was the deadlights personified.
He was patient and kind, he was cruelly divine,
As he clawed into your spine

And the man you met, had a jagged soul.
Enforced his way with, the sword
Impervious was his will, and willfully
The crooked man killed yours

There will always be, crooked men and the sea.
And god has. Lost. Control.
