In eighteen sixty-five I sailed
In eighteen sixty-five I sailed the sea, and I looked down at my feet.
Far away the captain shouted but to me, my ears betrayed
I saw his arms a-waving and I felt the salty sea
But the one thing I did not understand, is why he never saw me.
My boots brushed the deck below as I bucked to the ship
"down!" I yelled, "down!" I screamed, a filth, a tear, a rip.
Annalise said that she misses me, I just cant make her see
that the only part of nature is the piece that's truly free.
