We Perform a Service Here

by Joseph Fink

/

lyrics

Watch for ships teeming with fresh recruits
Listen for the clatter of all those stranger’s boots
hide out by the well pump where no one thinks to go
Let the day pass so slow

Sometimes no matter how hard you sprint you still don’t make it to the car
And the navel is just a scar
Travel for a thousand lifetimes you wouldn’t reach the nearest star
And the navel is just a scar

Been three months since I’ve furloughed on main land
I prefer my life within stainless steel and a solid plan
We perform a service here. Without us it all disappears
Got to keep my goals and purpose clear

My fear sears inside my bones like it was made of molten tar
And the navel is just a scar
My dreams are merely bad ideas that I haven’t yet let go too far
And the navel is just a scar

Last night I thought the waves would tear this whole platform in half
Started to pray to nothing, in particular on our behalf
I think something heard me, or maybe I just echoed back
Turns out that I have what I thought I lacked

Opened a door that all this time I thought was locked blocked sealed and barred
And the navel is just a scar
You can’t dodge every single blow that comes your way if you spar
And the navel is just a scar
If you stay still long enough, then that becomes who you are
And the navel is just a scar
yes the navel is just a scar
