lyrics

(verse 1)
I crossed an isthmus
in the thought that I could witness
a prophet preaching prophesies
and march along their interest
attempt at seeking knowledge
understanding it for wisdom
type 'see it to believe it'
pilgrimage to fill the image
not quiet Cythera
united by the millions of
inspired individuals
that saw light and hear it too
construct a shrine to cherish
do with whats around and bare your tools
then era, after era, after era they will stare at you
I blink
before we disembark on chosen
volcanic rock, the sands of god,
we're animals with four limbs
in tandem watch the hands that draw
our plan to stamp a footprint
anonymous to modern us
won't topple after bullshit
I link
with a fellow pellegrino
said hello with a head nod
hails from elsewhere
came to speak through
tales of trotting forward
from four corners just to seek truth
told them I would join them
in the morning we would regroup, to

(chorus)

look out look out
for shapes in the distance
MOST TIMES / wont find a soul
look how look how
they'll raise in an instance
SUNSHINE / behind the coast
look now look now
no trace of existence
CAN'T FIND/ a place to go
look out look out
for shapes in the distance
SOMEWHERE / to call my own

(verse 2)
its ante meridiem
groggy from drinking spirits
probably gon' need a minute
wash out the reek and tinges
pack up whatever fits in
a sheet to place at stick end
and then head off on to the docks where the plot will thicken
give salutations to my shipmate then untie the cleat hitch
we came to praise this but we're craving to go find our own niche
carved out the waves a place to make or break the lives that we live
embark to find whats waiting, waiting
so far its rough seas, that cut deep
motion at the whim of wind
our front teeth, crusty
like stow away ascidians
air sultry, we all see
nothing but this endless pit
taunting our wanting
of somewhere that we've never been
something we can build upon
collaborate the skills aboard
we've paddled out to get this far
no looking back just look for shores
through looking glass we took our oars
and bet on an existence
wait - think I see a shape in the distance

(chorus)
