Perpetual Cannons
March 11, 2021
I attack not uninformed.
I've got my principles.
Throw away what I've learned
In the interest of rising decibels.
I may be outnumbered here
Firing away at my targets,
Don't give or care
Who's left lying in the carnage.
--------------------------
God only knows I row this boat alone.
God only knows how I feed this round.
--------------------------
You're a burr in my saddle,
My flank's brittle thorn.
Inside the cage you rattle,
I captain with no time to learn.
I may be in the majority,
Safe among the masses,
But it sure feels damn lonely
Trying to navigate safe passage.
--------------------------------------
God only knows I row this boat alone.
(God only knows)
God only knows
(I row this boat alone).
God only knows
(God only knows)
How I feed this round.
(How I feed this round).
---------------------------------------
A flotilla's in rough waters,
I wonder when the battle turns.
The victor still the slaughtered,
A certainty that experience learns.
I toss about on the open sea,
Hear a cannon across the waves,
The kind of weaponry
Meant to set my vessel all ablaze.
------------------------------
God only knows
I row this boat alone.
(God only knows)
God only knows
(I row this boat alone).
[God only knows]
How I feed this round.
(God only knows)
[I row this boat alone).
(How I feed this round).
[God only knows]
[How I feed this round].
