lyrics

we were tied to a sea-sick mast
heads in the sand we thought we could re-write the scene
our real lives were the sewn-up kind
nervously hiding what it was we couldn’t talk about
lean to one side fall out

all aboard, all aboard - but the ship won’t sail anymore
all aboard, all aboard - see the waves pull away from the shore
all aboard, all aboard - but the ship won’t sail anymore
crawl into the captain’s den and you won’t see
the light that marks the push of day again

we read books of the fair & brave
prayed that we would be saved
failing to see our part (disappointment we made)
we leached life from the things we loved
‘til nothing would swim so close, questioned our loneliness
water & oil congress, water & oil congress

all aboard, all aboard - but the ship won’t sail anymore
all aboard, all aboard - see the waves pull away from the shore
all aboard, all aboard - but the ship won’t sail anymore
there’s a side to everything, but when both are wrong
you best make sure your lifeboat’s very clean

all aboard, all aboard - but the ship won’t sail anymore
all aboard, all aboard - see the waves pull away from the shore
all aboard, all aboard - but the ship won’t sail anymore
all aboard... All aboard...
if I were a bird of pray, I wouldn’t have to live this way

about

Joseph & The Beasts Baltimore, Maryland

Joseph & The Beasts traffic in counter-rhythms that build from muted valleys to fevered crescendos. Shifts in time give way to sprawling valleys of fuzz-drenched keyboards, before soaring vocals erupt into a fervor-filled maelstrom.
