Godspeed Us To Sea by Every Time I Die
Turns out I never had a thought at all.
I've been talking in my sleep, reciting teleprompted anthems a marionette
strung tight to the executives upstairs.
I almost had myself convinced that I meant everything I said. What a shame.
Oh captain, my captain, you've been drinking. What happened?
I've been slurring my cadences and blacking out when I stand.
I know all about your son, who never did return from the war.
But there was poison in that bottle, I tell you.
I'm coming out with my hands in the air. This is not my voice. What you are
hearing is not me.
