lyrics

Empty Chest

Silent sprays of yesterday, leave fossils upon the shore
Tide rolls in, guided from within,
Lapping on her thirsty shores
There are free pirates, brilliant sailors and
Monsters of the deep
Paradise islands with mermaids and sirens,
Who lull into fateful sleep

(chorus)
In a bottle, they find their gold
Piled high on stories that have been left untold
In a bottle, they find their gold
And a ship that takes them far away
Keep on sailin' for another day

On a lifeboat adrift, his body is getting stiff
Won't somebody throw him a line
It's hard to get sober when your body's been taken over
By baggage and chemistry and time
Guided by voiced, disguised as choices
He gets lead into the rain
Like generations before him who've set the decorum
Of picklin' the brain

(chorus)

The fat notes of the bass resonate with Joshua’s gravelly vocals as he recounts tales of the road, drunken sailors, emancipation, love, death, promises and destiny. ... more
