Name: vessels (bonus track)
Duration: P00H04M24S
Description: Bonus track: We recorded this song in the same sessions as the rest of the album, but we felt it was lacking a little something & it didn't make the cut. Our band mate/engineer/producer, Nicholas Papaleo, decided to revisit it nearly 10 years later & I'm so glad he did. He added some keyboard parts & Ben Grigg added horns & it turned out great.

lyrics

we cast our belongings o'er the starboard side rail
we knew the chances were slim
fleeing our captors for captivating seas
you warned that you could not swim
but we're tethered to the horizon
dive into
dive into
dive
feather to buoy the limbs

corpuscles coursing through vessels they course
vessels on courses within
the salt water serves to preserve us without
but stinging where shields are thin
it dives into
dives into
dives
drifting the seas, we of tin

but it ain't the water, it's the concrete below
and it ain't the waves, it's the wind
and it ain't tumultuous salvaging seas
it's just the cleft of the chin
it's flesh & bones & skin

we dive into
dive into
dive

it's deeper what we're drowning in
