lyrics

Chapter 52: The Albatross (part 2)

When you leave your family behind,
You'll end where you started
Or die while you're trying.

The sea presents an abyss,
The mouth of a labyrinth,
The end of a tryst.

'Round the world will take me back to you.
'Round the world will take me back to you.

If the world spread out like a table,
Forever an eastward
Direction to take,

The wanderer would be able
To think of a better
World yet to come.

Don't you know your demons aren't at sea?
Demons are the circle that binds you.

The circle of our world is just a cage.
The circle of our chests is just a cage.
