I'm the jailer, and who are you?
There are better things I have to do
I love watching; it's like a zoo
You should learn to dance on cue
I am the jailer and I have the key
You're here because you turned on me
I'd let you out, but if you go free
You're between the devil and the great blue sea
I know old friend that you are new
But who said the sky was ever blue?
The sky is red, and the sailor makes do
You'll never see it again, adieu
I am the jailer and I have the key
You're here because you turned on me
I'd let you out, but if you go free
You're between the devil and the great blue sea
It's my fault for not casting the first stone
You were in a glass house when your cover was blown
Who put the knife in my back was well-known
It's too late now to atone
I'm leaving you here in you cell alone
Practice you act, or we'll have to postpone
I had the previous jailer overthrown
But wrath just isn't in your bones
My dear, make yourself at home
Make yourself at home

All I do is scare people away
Follow me back, I know the way
I am chasing the light on my face
I let myself grow into the reef
I am the explosion girl with teeth
I live here in the total dark
This is where sailors disembark
The scrambling was stark
I let myself grow into the reef
I am the explosion girl with teeth
You can leave, but we're a mile below sea
Everyone needs from but never wants me
I gave you everything but your key
The jailer cries and lets her go free

Anchor

Davy Jones was looking for me
I was anchored down at sea
The jailer drowns with her key
I said I never truly went free
My life was never meant to be
All my life was under siege
The flood tide took me up to the air
I had no business being there
The jailer won't be ignored when she speaks
The jailer will not accept defeat
Let by a siren's deceit
Led by a light obsolete
The voice in my head had to retreat
She said we don't swim, we sink
The flood tide took me up to the air
I had no business being there

Mirror

The professional has a tall tale to tell
All I knew was to open up to yell
The mirror on my dresser broke when it fell
What do I need it for when all is well
I've spent enough time in a cell
If you haven't been, you should go to hell
I let the monster get into my bed
I spoke aloud with the voice is my head
Ghosts are memories that are dead
The girl I became is hooded in red
God came to me in a vision last night
Where are you taking me; you have no right
I'm not going down without a fight
I said this next part you're not gonna like
Explosion girl was quite a sight
I'm not who you say I am, I say with spite
I let the monster get into my bed
I spoke aloud with the voice is my head
Ghosts are memories that are dead
The girl I became is hooded in red

Shipwrecked
02:53
|

|
Time was ticking back on the clocks
The tune slowed on the music box
In my head a woman talks
I changed the key on all the locks
I crashed right into the docks
The sirens crawled our from the rocks
I steered toward a light that went dim
I'm treading water, and I can't swim
I woke up shipwrecked today
The storm had just taken me away
No one had waited for me near the bay
The voice in my head had nothing to say
My reality tends to stray
I'm alone and always go back halfway
I steered toward a light that went dim
I'm treading water, and I can't swim
I said leave me here to die
I'm lost and I don't know why
The psychosis had it right
It wasn't in me to fight
I steered toward a light that went dim
I'm treading water, and I can't swim

Kraken

I'll unleash it to take what's due
I'll take us all down, too
You're such a laugh with your crew
A sailor, or a captain, who??
I'm a jailer or a captain in lieu
Who wants to start a coup?
Who wants to kill me on my debut?
It wants to come out and play
I can't keep it quiet today
How you love to misconstrue
I would love to say adieu
But this abuse won't fucking do
I've got a key to your cell; you haven't a clue
I've got a demon right here you're free to speak to
We're doing it my way then, that's new
I'm still going to watch it kill you
It wants to come out and play
I can't keep it quiet today

Seabed

I feel tonight I'm going to die
I am the body gone awry
You are the friend that twists the knife
Take me to the bottom tonight
What I need is to be taken away
I don't want to kill myself today
I went back to hell halfway
The voice in my head says I look like prey
Ocean wide, the eyes that consume
The bottom-dweller takes bloom
I am in a door-less room
I am the land mine without the boom
What I need is to be taken away
I don't want to kill myself today
I went back to hell halfway
The voice in my head says I look like prey

They found me searching for the light
I found the darkness, and it felt right
If god died, then I think I just might
She said don't you dare put up a fight
Her flogger is dipped in metal
She loves me not for every petal
She's coming out now, so settle
You're the pot calling me the kettle
On stage, but she hates the show
She can take you down with a single blow
She says she'll take it slow
Then smiles at how fast you go
Her flogger is dipped in metal
She loves me not for every petal
She's coming out now, so settle
You're the pot calling me the kettle
Get on the cross; I'm tying you tight
You're such a sight
You're going home with me tonight
Don't worry, young girl, I bite
She tells me to lie down on the floor
I can't take your indifference anymore
She stands on me and begins to bore
She said loving me was such a chore

Seafarer's Wife
03:25
|
|||
|
Have you ever swam down too deep?
I touch bottom and repeat
I am waiting on my fleet
I am waiting on a siren's deceit
She left me when I was out at sea
She thought I was dead, and I think I might be
You cut off all your blonde hair
In another life we'd make a pair
The ship was beyond repair
The harbor goes nowhere
She left me when I was out at sea
She thought I was dead, and I think I might be
I hold you head in the water because you said
The day you love me is a day you dread
You're leaving me out here in the water for dead
You're leaving me out here with a voice in my head
You said I used you, well I'll discard you instead
It was me you misled
It was me you misled

Ashore

How far out can you see?
The jailer let me go free
I went in above my knees
What do I do with this when it isn't me?
I was happy for once and ODed
I stood on shore and let go of the need
I washed up on shore
What was left worth fighting for?
How far out can you see?
All my suffering comes from me
Nothing's kept me from being free
I stand on shore and concede
I stand in the water and feel it receded
I'd wait for you, but there's no need
I washed up on shore
What was left worth fighting for?
I washed up on shore
Surely there's something worth fighting for
