Paper Boat

from Ryan Gibson by Ryan Gibson

lyrics

I'm going to the city harbor
To let the trash wash over me
And make friends with sludge-covered birds
Who are bound to ground by weighted wings
It's sad...

And go sailing through the sewer
In a little paper boat
'Til the bloodstream of the city
Carries me back home

You walk around so cheerless
Inside a dense, oneiric mist
Of miserable distraction
You weave your way on through the crowd
You look a wreck and seem distressed
The burden of breath in your chest
Just wears you out, it weighs you down
You'll sigh yourself to sleep tonight somehow

And go sailing through the sewer
In a little paper boat
'Til the bloodstream of the city
Carries you back home

Your heart is full of bitter prayers
For one who simply would not care
To see you with your bruises bare
In a naked display of despair
Back to the swamp from whence you came
You're a rabid man who knows no shame
You gave yourself to her in vain
Your vagrant heart will never find its way
Back home...

You go sailing through the sewer
In a little paper boat
'Til the bloodstream of the city
Carries you back home
