[Verse] Sold myself a pleasant dream But Nothing's as it seems Took a trip to the ocean Just out of devotion My body is a vessel Not one that is special Just a rickety old boat Barely staying afloat [Chorus] Salt water blood water Left behind my sons and daughter Now becoming a maritime slaughter Used to be a dad now just a lost father Sinking fast into the abyss [Verse] Swallowed up by a white crest Here without a life vest Slowly taking in water I'm sorry to bother Could you cast that rope to sea Just don't lose sight of me Never wanted to explore The ocean's bottom floor [Repeat Chorus x2 with increased urgency] [Whimsical melodic slow ending] [End]
