a song i wrote about mutiny and regret

Lyrics:

Throwing his old medal out to sea
From the bow of hulls of hulks of trees
He looked for it until he couldn't see
With a laugh from there declared his spirit free

'Why don't you', asked he
'throw away the key?'
I said 'That must be
the devil in me'.

We sat beneath the ceaseless steady drone
Set the table like we weren't yet alone
His gaze perused the space of what he'd thrown
As I wondered why we couldn't save our own

We'll float with the debris
Agree to disagree
So I might defeat
The devil in me.

The Devil In Me
