slightly wrong#space pirate yellow boots - the prequel

💛 a little backstory before rowan became a space pirate captain 🏴‍☠️ in an alternative universe 💛 ========== [Verse 1] Portobello Saturday Coffee in my hand, not thinking much Found you folded up Rain-stained, faded ink at the bottom of a veg crate throne for the market cat [Verse 2] An old man watching me Says Fancy that He winks once Then twice Funny how the useless things remain He says [Prechorus] Laughing eyes, but not quite Too sharp Too kind Like a glitch in frame This map doesn’t point to a place [Chorus] This isn’t on the map at all A false door in a painted wall Peeling signs pointing nowhere Everything’s just slightly wrong (slightly wrong) slightly wrong (slightly wrong) Clock keeps ticking, Soft but off-beat [Bridge] Stairs keep climbing Ceiling tilts It bends my steps It edits space Like it wants to see If I’ll turn back If I’ll let go Or if I’ll trust Anything I can’t control (can’t control) can’t control [Outro] The door eases open I step through Warm air, low steady hum Like something alive Metal, but soft somehow Small shapes gather Oval eyes, too bright Colours shifting Like they’ve been waiting One moves closer Almost shaking with excitement We’ve been waiting for you Right on time you’re our captain now Hand to my forehead A breath I didn’t mean to take oh no… not again… you’re our captain now you’re our captain now you’re our captain now you’re our captain now [End]
