Sword & Seed - At Sea With the Beast Lyrics

I am at sea with the beast
And he is my portion, and I am his feast
I think that he
Has forgotten my name
I sleep in the heart of the ship
Comforting my flesh and my shame

And my bones have been glued together
By thoughtless words, and the changes in weather
This light is cracking my skin
It can't seem to find any other way in

Though this trip is endless, my telescope is longer
And the clouds are far, and the sun is small, but it's getting stronger
When I stood at the bow of the ship after that last storm
For the first time in a year, something inside me felt warm

I am at sea with the beast
And I shall remain until he is deceased
For he is my lover, and I need a good yoke
And I scoop up saltwater for my heartache to soak
And the seagull brings hope
If I'd send off the vulture that helps me to cope
I must not leave, I would just reminisce
And I don't even know if land still exists
I've been here so long

Though this trip is endless, my telescope is longer
The clouds are far, and the sun is small, but it's getting stronger
When I stood at the bow of the ship after that last storm
For the first time in a year, something inside me felt warm

You are the beast, but I'm the demoniac
And I know I should leave you, but the sea is so incredibly black
I heard a whisper, and it told me
I lack the courage to do what is good for me
I could be empty, I could be free
And watch all my demons run into the sea
