Deca - Sailboats and Trains lyrics

My childhood was perfect paradise lost
Now, one is driven forward into
The future by the storm
Sailing out of paradise

Our father was a traveling performer with
A love circus of excessive unfortunates
Fortune tellers, dope fiends
And contortionists that left me in Babylon
(where) I was forced to live
On table scraps at the orphanage
I ran in the house and God
Closed the doors and hid confessed sins
Evangelists say the Lord forgives
Seems right you created me in your image
Kick, scream, blaspheme last seen grappling
With strange beings in bad dreams
That grow scales and bat wings
Sleep walker, sweep Eloise off her feet
Sweet talk her
But keep your eyes peeled for thought police
Slow creeping down forgotten
Got the streets watching
He's obsolete like floppy
Disks and beat-boxing
I believe still, I never stopped believing
I could see him even when the
Mushrooms were out of season
So we could let the swine roast on the spit
That don't believe in anything they
Can't poke with a stick
They don't know about the monsters
That patrol the abyss
They don't know that Mr one
Zero's dope as it gets
All your product's stepped on
And your jewelry's fake
You got bass, I got uncut Peruvian flake
One taste test will take you to
The next level and apex
To cloud ten without having to
Spend several pay checks

Today's blessed i'm feeling great
Like I could walk barefoot through
A field of snakes you treat my love like
A five dollar milkshake
And I'm a snap and knock the
Taste out your grill cake blow
I put my mean face on i feel safe now
Walk center stage and take a bow
Walk through a field of snakes
Bruise every head shake the foundation
Wake up the dead

I recall a time when all the stars aligned
Symbols on the walls and shrines
Of a solemn altered mind i was younger then
Young and unafraid, unfazed
Unaware of pitfalls that you face
When you come of age
With grandiose, lofty ideals and diatribes
They take God out your chest and
Place him in the sky
Preach uniformity, perpetuate lies
But can't obstruct the vision that I
See with my mind's eye
I spy Cain and Abel perched
On a man's shoulders
With birds of paradise and ravens overhead
He fragments into infinite heavens and hells
Pulling fish out the open ocean
With a golden thread
I comb the depths for pearls every
Night when I go to bed
And wake up empty handed sometimes
But know the ledge
We've been sewn falsehoods we've been misled
Shake the foundation wake up the dead

(uhuh)

Today's blessed i'm feeling great
Like I could walk barefoot through
A field of snakes you treat my love like
A five dollar milkshake
And I'm a snap and knock the
Taste out your grill cake blau
I put my mean face on i feel safe now
Walk center stage and take a bow
Walk through a field of snakes
Bruise every head shake the foundation
Wake up

In what seems like the dead of winter
Beneath the protecting mantle of ice
Forces from far away galaxies
And from deep in the Earth
Are joined in the creation of new life
