Broken Black Compass

by Pick a Bear

lyrics

Until it fades away
We're here to stay
You know, there's no law we must obey
Some of us have been kicked
Others still resist
and the wall's not ready for another brick

yeah the wall's gonna fall down, as we pass through
join and don't be afraid, we'll welcome you
Here's the time to unite, the angry and the stuck,
to get ourselves free, boy you already knew

We're the sailormen, chasing life beyond the earth
With the sea backing us, no one will find us dead
We were sailormen, since the day of our birth
And we know now, we shall go ahead

Anchors aweigh
Head to a new bay
Our black hearts don't belong, anywhere
yeah, our black hearts won't mourn for someone left back
I am not here to warn, 'bout a sudden attack
It's a long way to lose your soul in this war
But if you stay here they have already won

We're the sailormen, chasing life beyond the earth
With the sea backing us, no one will find us dead
We were sailormen, since the day of our birth
And we know now, we shall go ahead
and this time i'm not gonna buy all the tears you have shown and the scars you have cried
My broken compass will guide me anywhere I go
