I wrote the lyrics/melody to "Spyglass" the day after my first ever asthma attack. It was a terrifying moment not knowing what was happening and losing my breath faster that a sinking ship. In the end was "worth it" as the thoughts became the pirate slang lyrics to this song.

lyrics

Days gone as an echo on the hill
I haven't seen the sun for long
Spiring down on a plate of marmalade
Attempts to sail with no sheets
Believing there'll be someone there to greet
When treasure island hits the spyglass clean

I've battered down the hatches dear
The roar of storms are all I hear
Strike colours theres a white flag left
Strapped above the fallen mast
Jacob's ladder's hanging by a thread
Ill climb until I run out of breath.
