Learning to Be Lost

By Shayfer James

On Shipwreck

[Verse]

I am satisfied sleeping peacefully

An iron ghost with eyes closed

I am a plagiarized auto-biography, a wreckage

A shipwreck in sheep's clothes


[Chorus]

Be patient with me, I am learning to be lost

Don’t be gentle, never gentle

Be mindful of me, I will sink at any cost

Don’t be gentle, never be gentle


[Verse]

I have abandoned hope

To the flurry of a taciturn turncoat mercenary, maelstrom

It is not safe to float

I will anchor in the aftеrmath of no one

Of no one


[Chorus]

Be patiеnt with me, I am learning to be lost

Don’t be gentle, never gentle

Be mindful of me, I will sink at any cost

Don’t be gentle, never be gentle


[Bridge]

You can tell by my panic-less face I am accustomed to this


[Chorus]

Be patient with me, I am learning to be lost

Don’t be gentle, never gentle

Be mindful of me, I will sink at any cost

Don’t be gentle, never be gentle

Be patient with me, I am learning to be lost

Don’t be gentle, never gentle

Be mindful of me, I will sink at any cost

Don’t be gentle, never be gentle

Never be gentle
