And you're caught in the net
fathoms deep in regret
remorse code, the message sent
count the cost of a force spent
‘‘In those white lines
made your eyes wide
unenlightened lies
in those white lines.’’
The ship is wrecked with all hands
look to the reef, false lights from the land
way off course, a fool's sail is set
lashed to the wheel, to pay the stars their debt
‘‘With those white lines
made your eyes wide
unenlightened lies
in those white lines.’’
The clipper calls her siren dares
and she gives you a hand lock of hair
laid to waste drowned alone
and burned out a sea shell of a soul
‘‘With those white lines
made your eyes wide
unenlightened lies
in those white lines
oh, those white lines.’’
‘‘Oh, those white lines
made your eyes wide
unenlightened lies
in those white lines
I was likewise
in those white lines
oh, those white lines.’’
