Via the brink

Via the speech
Via belief
Via adventure adventing retreat
We are the hands that fashion the sails
For doldrum or gail

All attention now while currents pound the wooden keel
Endless lake with beast at bay, pulled tight against the reel

Proper lenghts cut from lifes tether
Tell a tale of slack cut for better

All attention now while currents pound the wooden keel
Endless lake with beast at bay, pulled tight against the reel
Would it be too sad to say that our hours spent outnumber whats left -
One more breath and another attempt to outrun the end

Are you just another one of these animals feeding?
Treading neck deep mixing your breathing with screaming?
Cut the ribbon and smash the bottle against the bow
Your ship of dreams bottomed out and ran around
