about

Still rough and could use some clean up but I'm pretty stoked on the lyrics. Turned out cool....

lyrics

Amiss my adventures on the 7 seas
I've been traversing the townships like a salty breeze
Incognito from my caption and crew
I'm a different man when I sail the blue
On these harbors I make my way
Traveling journeyman awaiting the day
I wake up to the map that leads to the trail
To deliver me from the belly of the whale

I played some cards with some unsavory fellow
Apprenticed with a blacksmith and work the bellows
Worked a job as a cook with a knife and a fist
Told a sherif I wouldn't slit his throat

I never planned to land in that forbidden place.... no I never planned to stay.
From where I never returned...

I was a wayward prankster in the hands of fate
Searchin for something that would elevate
My contention with the lopsided state of the world
Maybe one of these oysters would offer a pearl
So I walk the quagmire dreaming of the day
I can settle down and forgo the bay
That sent me adrift in a sea of confusion
About my liberty it's such an illusion
