Mutineer

by Joseph Tennant

/

lyrics

creaking boards beneath my feet: moldy, chipped, and worn
see myself, twisted planks, vessel’s floor
attempt to gain my ocean legs to walk across the craft
disobeyed and i can’t release the burning scorn
i’m a miscreant at best
disobedient even when i know the outcome

waters roil and mock my shame as they hit me with their spit
life below lurking eagerly for kraken’s kiss
captain and the crew look on, sorrow sinking in
it’s the end and they can’t believe it’s come to this
i’m a miscreant at best
disobedient even when i know the outcome

bind me as a mutineer and send me to the sea
i’m a wretch and i’m drenched in pools of mockery
i’ve made a mess but not amends, my heart remains a stone
walk the plank, every step is pleading earnestly
i’m a miscreant at best
i’m a miscreant at best
i’m a miscreant at best
disobedient even when i know the outcome
