It's the break of the night,
the nightmares keep piling in
and I don't know
how to make them stop.
I scream out loud
when it looks like you're trying to ghost me
How am I gonna be fine?
I'm afraid that it's just
one day of passion
that keeps me burning
for the rest of the year,
I'm afraid that I'm a wiped out candle,
who doesn't bring out the light anymore,
I've lived on expectations and compliments
and again, that's the only thing
which makes me dead
You say you're afraid
to get lost in the sea
but don't worry, because
you'll find me there
no matter how broken I might be,
no matter how broken my sails
I promise, I'll try my best,
I'll make you cross the sea.
Don't help me out, it'd be pity
I know I'll be back to the sea someday
Hey, I might be afraid,
but I'm a warrior
I might die, but I'll die in the sea
atleast not on the starting lines,
where the people feared to jump in.

Personal Notes :-
I really feel that this could be a potential backstory for our dear ship repairer.
Or maybe, it is the backstory ;)
