A finales de la década de los 90, los jóvenes Jesse Lacey, Garrett Tierney y Brian Lane comenzaban en el mundo de la música con la banda The Rookie Lot, una banda de post-hardcore de la zona de Long Island junto a Brandon Reilly, guitarrista también de bandas como The Movielife y Nightmare of You. Tras la desintegración de esta banda, Lacey se enrola en Taking Back Sunday, otra banda de post-hardcore también de la escena de Long Island. Graba con ellos su primer material no oficial
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
[Verse 1] GCadd9 We sent out the SOS call GCadd9 It was a quater past four G In the morning Cadd9Em7B7sus4 When the storm broke our second anchor line. GCadd9 Four months at sea. GCadd9 Four months of calm seas GCadd9 Only to be pounded in the shallows Em7B7sus4 Off of the tip of Montauk Point.
[Verse 2] GCadd9 They call them rogues. GCadd9 They travel fast and alone, GCadd9 One hundred foot faces Em7B7sus4 Of God's good ocean gone wrong GCadd9 What they call love is a risk, GCadd9 Cause you will always get hit G Out of nowhere Cadd9Em7B7sus4 By some wave and end up on your own.
[Chorus 1] CG The hole in the hull defied the crews attempts Em7B7sus4 To bail us out. CG And flooded the engines and radio Em7B7sus4 And half buried bow.
[Verse 3] GCadd9 Your tongue is a rudder. GCadd9 It steers the whole ship. GCadd9 Sends your words past your lips Em7B7sus4 Or keeps them safe behind your teeth. GCadd9 But the wrong words will strand you. GCadd9 Come off course while you sleep. GCadd9 Sweep your boat out to sea Em7B7sus4 Or dashed it to bits on the reef.
[Verse 4] GCadd9 The vessel groans GCadd9 The ocean pressures its frame. GCadd9 Off the port I see the lighthouse Em7B7sus4 Through the sleet and the rain. GCadd9 And I wish for one more day GCadd9 To give my love and repay debts. GCadd9 But the morning finds our bodies Em7B7sus4 Washed up thirty miles west.
[Chorus 2] CG They say that the captain Em7 Stays fast with the ship B7sus4 Through still and storm. CG But this ain't the Dakota. Em7 And the water is cold. B7sus4 We won't have to fight for long.
[ENDING] G This is the end.
This story's old
But it goes on and on Cadd9 Until we disappear.
Calm me and let me taste
The salt that you breathed G While you were underneath.
I am the one who haunts your dreams Cadd9 Of mountains sunk below the sea.
I spoke the words but never Em7 Gave a thought to what they all could mean.
I know that this is what you want. B7sus4 A funeral keeps both of us apart.
You know that you are not alone. G Need you like water in my lungs.
