Tale of the Agoraphobic Pirate

[Verse] I'm a pirate brave, sailed the open sea With a heart full of courage, that was once the real me But now I'm stuck, can't leave this shore A prisoner to fear, forevermore [Chorus] Oh, the wind may blow and the waves may crash But I'll never set sail, my ship won't dash For the vast expanse, the open sea It holds no comfort, no peace for me [Verse 2] I long to roam, to explore each land To feel the salt spray, beneath my own hand But the fear it holds, is gripping tight I'm bound to this land, forever in sight [Chorus] Oh, the wind may blow and the waves may crash But I'll never set sail, my ship won't dash For the vast expanse, the open sea It holds no comfort, no peace for me [Bridge] Once I sailed with freedom, the world my own But now I'm chained to this fear, I can't disown The horizon taunts me, with its distant call But I'm anchored here, destined to fall [Verse 3] I watch the ships pass by, with envy deep Their sails unfurled, their courses to keep I yearn to join them, to break these chains But the grip of fear, it still remains [Chorus] Oh, the wind may blow and the waves may crash But I'll never set sail, my ship won't dash For the vast expanse, the open sea It holds no comfort, no peace for me [Outro] So here I'll stay, upon this shore A sailor's heart, forevermore Dreams of adventure, they'll never cease But I'm bound to land, in eternal peace.
