Ship of Promises

You see a mask from your window at night So you wake and you go outside And you put it on And they treat you in a different way But you can't understand what they say After you've put it on So a change is never an end Cause this is happening all over again And it's been days since I left On this ship of promises Another day, another denial Every longing's up on trial So you learn to put it on As the captain calls everyone in To the dance hall and the night begins You have to put it on All these visions of a welcoming party, pretty party Have been lost, cause it's the same since I left On this ship of promises All the churches I remember well Clocking in and out to the sound of the bell We just put it on It takes you in, it scrubs you clean, it sanitizes every dream And you put it on You just put it on But I'll meet you in between What I say and what I mean And we will make our own mess On this ship of promises Cause it's the same since we left On this ship of promises We just could not care less On this ship of promises Don't look back
