The Man Who Sailed Around His Soul

(álbum: The Junction - 2018)

The man who sailed around his soul
From east to west from pole to pole
With ego as his drunken captain
Greed, the mutineer, had trapped all reason in the hold

The man who walked across his heart
Who took no compass, guide, or chart
To rope and tar his blood congealed when
He found himself revealed ugly and cold

And the sirens that sing
By your nose with it's ring
They'll drag you in for your sins
Now he sits all alone
And there's no place like home
It's empty skin, a bag to keep life's souvenirs in
The man who sailed around his soul
The man who sailed around his soul

The man who sailed around his soul
Came back again to find a hole
Where once he thought compassion and the truth
Had laid to warm his freezing carcass on return

The man who walked across his heart
Was doomed to journey to the start
Of every love affair he'd broken
All the lies he'd ever spoken tattooed on his arm

And the jelly fish stings
Even angels with wings
Who look too deep and dare to peep
Now he sits all alone
Knowing flesh, blood, and bone is everything
He'd found the treasure he'd been seeking
The man who sailed around his soul
The man who sailed around his soul

Not sorry for the man who sailed around his soul
The man who sailed around his soul
The man who sailed
Round his soul
The man who sailed
Round his soul

The man who sailed around his soul
East to west from pole to pole
The man who walked across his heart
Doomed to journey to the start
The man who sailed around his soul
The man who sailed around his soul

Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do
Round his soul
