Pull the blind if you like, there'll be one stripe that the sunlight hits
No hair gets left unsplit, that's just the way we do it on this ship
Each mistake, more or less, will be some match for the daylight mess
Can't score a nightclub floor, it'd have a few on me for sure

We'll scrub our skin 'til we're clean
And we will teach the young team
That while we're pilots who fly
We'll shoot them from the sky

Slow decline over time could have been missed out if we'd checked our pride 
All's well when distance swells, that's the way we tell it to ourselves
On your toes sense erodes, couldn't we stand up when the pavements froze?
I keep falling off slacklines and landing on my feet each time

Stand on my feet and turn off the light
We're sleeping late tonight...




Teach the Young Team

When the waves form and you see the storm,
Let it break, you don't want massive hands or massive feet
Sore when you hit the shore
Let it grow, don't plant yourself in sand

If i took a plane your wings might break when the comforts at home feed you indifference
Yes i'm going to sail and hope heroes live in long ships

In artificial light that we thought was ours, the pixels are paling without the stars
The listing boat that carries our sense of pride will only stay afloat with equal weight at either side

Link disasters each and every verse
No one needs donations of hindsight
When my head fills, it is not with guilt
Just some surge that's lifesize and catlike

The windows of your house are darkened down; stone targets rendered incoherent
It's witching where you are, this is no time for long ships
