Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Moon, you’re up again
Hanging over busted hulls
Salt inside my eyes
Rust under my nails
I been here all season
Counting splinters, counting scars
Talking like a madman
To your quiet face
[Chorus]
I’m building a raft for the moon
Plank by broken plank, I’m coming soon (oh)
If this sea won’t hold my name
Will your cold light keep me sane
I’m building a raft for the moon
For the moon, for the moon
[Verse 2]
Found a door half-drowned
Found a mast snapped clean
Ropes like tangled veins
Wrapping up my hands
Every nail I drive
Got a memory in its head
Every board I bind
Hears the words I never said
[Chorus]
I’m building a raft for the moon
Plank by broken plank, I’m coming soon
If this sea won’t hold my name
Will your pale eye see my shame
I’m building a raft for the moon
For the moon, for the moon
[Bridge]
You just stare
You just stare
Silver judge
Silent prayer
If I float
If I sink
Will you shine
Will you blink (hey)
[Chorus]
I’m building a raft for the moon
With these shaking hands, I’m coming soon
If this tide keeps pulling through
I’ll leave every ghost with you
I’m building a raft for the moon
For the moon
[Outro]
So watch me, old friend
Watch me, all the way
’Til this crooked little raft
Takes my heart out of the waves

Style
Bare seaside shanty with a single earthy hand-drum pulse and raw male vocals, close-mic’d so every breath and crack shows. Start almost spoken, then lean into aching melodic phrases on the chorus. Verses stay narrow and intimate; chorus widens with stacked, rough harmonies on key lines. Gentle tempo sways like a tide; final chorus trails off into a hushed, unaccompanied last line., emotional, raw, rhythmic, vocal, shanty, soulful
