The color variant for the first pressing is a mustard yellow / green splatter! This is a pre-order so these won't ship until the release date (May 7th) but due to Covid it's pretty safe to assume that the pressing plant is super backed up and this won't ship to you til later! Thanks for your patience.

lyrics

The seasick sea shepherd is on
his final leg, he’ll miss you all
the sea lions and albatross
but he’ll miss the phytoplankton most of all…

The seasick sea shepherd is in
his final days, he might give in
take two breaths and peacefully
lie on his back and sink into the sea…

he’s returning to the start of the cycle we belong to
but i occasionally catch myself thinking

i wonder if he
ever got lonely
caring for the ocean
with no one to care for him
no one to fully
share in the beauty
was his life spent suffering?
or was it enough for him?
but now he’s gone
I guess we’ll never know

The seasick sea shepherd believed
everything’s connected by tiny
acts of god so pure and small
thats why he loved the phytoplankton most of all…
thats why he loved the phytoplankton most of all…
thats why he loved the phytoplankton most of all…

he’s returning to the start of the cycle we belong to
but i occasionally catch myself thinking

i wonder if he
ever got lonely
caring for the ocean
with no one to care for him
no one to fully
share in the beauty
was his life spent suffering?
or was it enough for him?
but now he’s gone
I guess we’ll never know
