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 »

I must have been a burden the first hours of my life,
the way dad pushed me and mom aside 
looking for a better life.
Most of my family
believes I’ll never be a star.
Since I was old enough to make a change,
I knew I’d make it far.

Cause not knowing who you are
keeps you wanting more.
Set fire to your heart,
be your own light in the dark.

I’m never looking back again,
and I’m never settling again.
I built these walls
to keep you out.
I’ll chase the sun into the ground,
but I’m never looking back again.

Progressing smoothly now,
slowly defeating my self-doubt.
Removed the dead weight of
of the people who only
look out for themselves.
And now that I have grown
enough to feel it in my bones.
I think about the choices made 
and all the winding roads.

I’m sick of always being asked,
“If this fails what comes next?”
Honestly, there’s nothing left.
This is all I have.

I’m never looking back again,
and I’m never settling again.
I built these walls
to keep you out.
I’ll chase the sun into the ground,
but I’m never looking back again.

Undetermined, failure, burdened by the womb.
Forced into this world by someone on the move.
See the stars,
chase the moon.
I can be anything,
but nothing like you.

The road is long,
I’m too far gone.
The burning sun is beating down,
still I’m never looking back again.

I’m never looking back again,
and I’m never settling again.
I built these walls
to keep you out.
I’ll chase the sun till it burns out,
and I’m never looking back again.
