Rumming On Empty

Who needs buried treasure and epic naval battles when you have a leaky hull and a barrel of rotgut? This is a sea shanty for the pirate who has officially given up. No maps, no gold, no destination—just a group of guys collectively deciding to drink until the ocean finally figures out they’re supposed to be underwater. A drunken doom anthem for those drifting through the high seas with no intention of ever reaching a port. Song by: Dead Channel Audio Lyrics: [[Verse 1] Spit out the compass Burn up the map We got nowhere to be Just following the tap Wood is rotting out from under our feet But the salt in the air tastes so fing sweet We traded the glory for a broken glass Let the king and his navy kiss my fing a** [Pre-Chorus] The hull is leaking but nobody cares We are drowning out the captain and his hollowed-out prayers Pull the cork Swallow the sea Nothing out there but the deep dark black and me [Chorus] We are rumming on empty Drifting on the dead tide No port in the distance No gold left to hide Let the timbers shiver Let the canvas tear We got a belly full of poison and a blank stare Down to the bottom Down to the dregs We go down on our own two rotting legs [Verse 2] Look at the chest Nothing but dust All the silver we bled for turned into rust But the barrel still sweats in the heat of the night And the moon on the water is our only f***ing light Brother against brother used to be the rule Now we sit in the dark and we play the fool Pass the jug Wipe your chin Let the beautiful decay wash over the skin [Pre-Chorus] The hull is leaking but nobody cares We are drowning out the captain and his hollowed-out prayers Pull the cork Swallow the sea Nothing out there but the deep dark black and me [Chorus] We are rumming on empty Drifting on the dead tide No port in the distance No gold left to hide Let the timbers shiver Let the canvas tear We got a belly full of poison and a blank stare Down to the bottom Down to the dregs We go down on our own two rotting legs [Bridge] No dawn No dusk Just a hollowed out ship and a drunken husk The sirens are singing but we are too deaf to hear Washing away every miserable f***ing fear Sink us Sink us Let the ocean drink us [Chorus] We are rumming on empty Drifting on the dead tide No port in the distance No gold left to hide Let the timbers shiver Let the canvas tear We got a belly full of poison and a blank stare Down to the bottom Down to the dregs We go down on our own two rotting legs [Outro] Rumming on empty Pull the tap Drink the dark
