Set Sail for Death

A lot of you care but not enough
Don't matter what you feel
If you suffer it's the real stuff
Tragedy don't have to be a badge of disaster, see
It's a source of strength through difficulty
The world's a comedy to those who think
Here's a knowing wink, if you blink you'll miss this
The business of laughter is what I'm after
To cover the pain and the hurt
And assert just like a grafter
But in your heart's desire
There's a livewire that never goes out
No doubt about it
Stories of woe, woah they gotta go
Romeo and Juliet, a no-show
Flipping a painful twist into a gainful
Go get pissed, flush away a drain-full
Is that heinous, or more an evil genius
Words prefer to be heard, so between us
We can lift the lid on the things we did
And what we hid behind, words we couldn't find
Self-betrayal is where we fail
The courage to flourish is our holy grail
From history we learn of inconsistencies
And still we try to unveil all of the mysteries
Looking back at the tracks of a timeline
We rewind to find we're blind, never mind

Bring my wings and set sail for death
Embracing the cold winds that chill
I've no-one left to look out for now
There's nowhere to hide so I'm done
Bring my wings and set sail for death
Embracing the cold winds that chill
I've no-one left to look out for now
There's nowhere to hide so I'm done

Count of the cost of what you've lost
And realised can't beat time
Count of the cost of what you've lost
And realised can't beat time

Don't wait for fate, or alienate yourself
Appropriate a greater state of health
Wealth's a collection, erections of greed
Money, money, money ain't nothing I need
To succeed I'll be uber-scending the meaning of life
Becoming a being, seeing the ultra-light
Nothingness is the best, it's a fist to Fear
The mist of times were here, then disappeared
Absurd is the herd that believes the words
Of broken promises, kilometres of blurb
Spoken with forked tongues from cloak and dagger lungs
Our leaders will bleed us and leave us all scatter-gunned
Time is short, time is sweet, time's the enemy
Walk like you talk, and your feet go so cleverly
Step by step down the road with nervous energy
Never be tethered, be we, free, contemporary
Your view of the world is a truth
Desire what you fear as you peer through a clear roof
Your humour's infectious, and blesses the rest of us
An antidote to stresses, a coat of hugs

Laugh your way to the grave, there's no other way
Your time'll come, you'll be done son, give us a wave
Be ready, be steady, treat the Reaper friendly
Strike a pose and who knows where it goes

Bring my wings and set sail for death
Embracing the cold winds that chill
I've no-one left to look out for now
There's nowhere to hide so I'm done
Bring my wings and set sail for death
Embracing the cold winds that chill
I've no-one left to look out for now
There's nowhere to hide so I'm done

Count of the cost of what you've lost
And realised can't beat time
