Pirate's Lament

from Gen NO by generation no

/

lyrics

on your sea, i saw
the face of the protagonist
frankly, i was disappointed
by the sheer lack of hubris

if i was in his position
i'd be so much happier
but instead i'm left here wishing
i was the sailor

i've got bigger and better sails than he, but i can't catch the wind
and though i caught your eye, i remember it first belonged to him
i've got a score to settle with the mirror, when i raise my fists it fights
back to back, heart attack, and god's not on on my side

on your sea, i got sick
you turn me inside out
what was once dismissed with a blush
i feel the need to shout

i'm confessing all my sins
sanitizer keeps my hands clean
i'm not asking for applause
just be my blow job queen

chorus

i am the pirate
i've accepted my place
you are a pirate
with a tendency to masquerade
he sees right through you, and he doesn't care
i see right through you and assert that life's not fair

i am the pirate
so get the hell out of my way
you are a pirate
with a tendency to masturbate
he says he loves you, and i can't compete
he's a sailor, he's a man of faith, he's better than me
