Lyrics:

They don’t say it to your face
They don’t need to anymore
A glance, a pause, a missing place
At mess along the floor

My name don’t reach the morning bell
My shadow walks alone
Every laugh just rings like knell
Cut sharp as bleached-out bone

I’m marked for the locker, marked and known
Every tide has turned me in
No rope will save, no blade atone
For where the deep begins

I’m marked for the locker, line and stone
Set beneath the blackened swell
The sea don’t take what it ain’t owed
It only rings the bell

The wind won’t meet me eye to eye
The stars won’t hold their place
Even truth just drifts on by
Afraid to show its face

I feel the ship breathe underfoot
Like it already knows
Some men pray for mercy’s foot
Some men just count the blows

I’m marked for the locker, marked and bound
By a debt I couldn’t see
The ocean doesn’t make a sound
When it decides on me

I’m marked for the locker, keel to crown
No shore left to defend
You don’t outrun the deep, you drown
Or learn where you must end

If they sing when I go down
Let it be low and slow
Tell the tide I held my ground
And faced what I was owed

I’m marked for the locker, seal and sign
No pardon left to send
The sea keeps books in salt and time
And always collects in the end

I’m marked for the locker, breath and bone
I’m marked for the locker
