The Master, The Captain Lyrics by Jack Van Cleaf

Fruit from the Trees

2022

[Verse 1]
I'm sippin' on soda and comin' in crazy
Over the water, as blue as a baby
And do I look like an F-14
OCD, a hurricane dream of the Navy?
[Verse 2]
You're burnin' bright white and comin' in lonesome
Reading Bukowski down in the doldrums
And you look like a daisy chained to your father's name
And your war-torn brain, dressed in poems
[Chorus]
It's an ocean
It's American marriage
It's watching our parents fumble their love
It's self-absorption
It's my anxious creation that I'm not enough
It's a hand on your back
It's your dad
Green and black
But it's owning this ourselves
And darlin' it is nothing else
[Verse 3]
We're tangled like angels and rolling down Blue Ridge
Igniting our souls as wax wings and hеroin
And does this feel like a shooting star
A burning car, the highway tar on our footbеd?
Is it over?
[Chorus]
I promise I'm happy, it's just all this happened
Like a coaster dropping you faster
Turning me backwards and back again
It's a coat 'round your arms
It's the cards, it's our hearts
Coming closer to something else
It's a heaven, it's a holy hell
[Verse 4/Outro]
I'm fearing my fate and falling like Titan
Through the blue in the air, through holes in horizons
And I'm screaming with arms outstretched for
Something to happen
But I am the master, I am the captain
