Broadside

A broadside is the side of a ship, the battery of cannon on one side of a warship; or their coordinated fire in naval warfare. From the 16th century until the early decades of the steamship, vessels had rows of guns set in each side of the hull. Firing all guns on one side of the ship became known as a "broadside". The cannons of 18th century men of war were accurate only at short range, and their penetrating power mediocre, entailing that the thick hulls of wooden ships could only be pierced at short ranges. These wooden ships sailed closer and closer towards each other until cannon fire would be effective. Each tried to be the first to fire a broadside, often giving one party a decisive headstart in the battle when it crippled the other ship. more »

Working and working my life away,
with nothing to show but my bills are paid.
But inside you know
that you’re all alone.
What can you do
when the world moves on without you?

I chose a path
that wasn’t there before.
I’m not limiting myself
to just one single door.

But you’ll always be tied down,
Restricted by the pain that grips your life.
I felt it, 
so focused,
just barely scraping by.

Working and working my life away,
with nothing to show but my bills are paid.

Consume, repeat,
and force yourself to sleep.
Weak hands, sore feet, 
but it makes you feel complete.

The weight of the world’s got you
fallen to your knees.
So learn how to crawl before 
you stand on your feet.

You can’t believe
that you can feel complete.
While questioning to fill your tank
or maybe you should eat.
If somehow you can make it through,
working knuckles black and blue,
somehow finding time for you.
Some will win,
some may lose.

We are all drowning in an ocean of greed.
The rich will climb your shoulders
just to breathe.

Consume, repeat, 
and force yourself to sleep.
Weak hands, sore feet,
but it makes you feel complete.

The weight of the world’s got you
fallen to your knees.
So learn how to crawl before 
you stand on your feet.

I know you’re weak and tired,
you feel like givin in.
You question if it’s really worth it,
you’ve got to look inside.
You’ve got to realize
remember that the struggle’s worth it.

Inside you know that you’re all alone
but still you try.

And so you,
consume, repeat,
and force yourself to sleep.
Weak hands, sore feet,
but it makes you feel complete.

The weight of the world’s got you
fallen to your knees.
So learn how to crawl before 
you stand on your feet.
