Pirate Hearts

[Verse]
The sea’s a mirror cracked and cold
Swallowed dreams and stories bold
Where the moonlight drowns in waves of gold
[Prechorus]
Raise the sails but lose the fight
Whiskey whispers through the night
[Chorus]
Yo ho
Hearts break in the salty spray
Rum in the blood
We drift away
Yo ho
The tide won’t stay
Lost pirate hearts in the ocean’s sway
[Verse 2]
A drunken sailor sings his sins
Tattered flags and phantom winds
Treasure’s cursed
Yet greed still wins
[Prechorus]
The compass spins
It points to pain
The sea’s a beast we can’t contain
[Chorus]
Yo ho
Hearts break in the salty spray
Rum in the blood
We drift away
Yo ho
The tide won’t stay
Lost pirate hearts in the ocean’s sway
