lyrics

It's a tragedy really what the body can take
The bruising the swelling the burning at the stake
The worrying contortions we'll do for a toke
To brighten reality in a cloud of smoke

And I'm probably sorry but Im not aloud
To doubt your existence, to think it out loud
But you know what I've dreamed, you know what I've seen
Why are you able to take it from me

If it all goes to plan if it all falls in my hands
Pirates and poets will dock at this door
They'll take me for a ride for the ride of my life
And finally show me what's on the other side
So I can know, so I can only know
Is our shell the only home we'll know

I've let down my guards now
But all I hear is
Settle down little one, settle down little one
The tide rising in my chest is free now
But all I hear is
Settle down little one, settle down little one
You've got to recycle this dream
oh oh...

Jaded and weighted by the regret on my breath
Tinnitus in my ears as I watch the world set
Alone amongst others and another while alone
You can't map out in your mind a solitude of this kind
My shell gets heavier it's taking its toll
On my clothes, on my skin, on my mind filled with holes
And all I can do is roll the dice
To avoid the dull thoughts that lead to a dull life

If it all goes to plan if it all falls in my hands
Pirates and poets will dock at this door
They'll take me for a ride for the ride of my life
And finally show me what's on the other side
So I can know, so I can only know
Is our shell the only home we'll know

I've let down my guards now
But all I hear is
Settle down little one, settle down little one
The tide rising in my chest is free now
But all I hear is
Settle down little one, settle down little one
You've got to recycle this dream
oh oh...


Excuse me but I know, but I know what I've seen
Excuse me but I know, but I know what I've seen
