Captain, We're Sinking

Swing Your Kami Sword

Captain, We're Sinking


Casting illusions of self esteem covered in by cancer-ridden walls.
Tighten your grip until your fingers break, the deep breath before the fall
Call out the words etched on our graves, but ignore the writing on your wall
I want you to watch me watch you fall, and I think you want the same thing too
If you want honesty, they'll take me from my home in the middle of the night
While my children watch in fear, as I'm begging for my life
Out here the gravity is nothing, the price of living on your own
I'll watch you burn down a factory, while I burn out my home alone
Well in my dreams I start laughing at the fact that you've forgotten me
If you want honesty this is all you'll get from me
If you want tragedy this is all you'll get from me, this is it
Actions tell the story from beginning to end
Your vision blurs and the lines they cross
Is it laziness or writer's block?
Patience and procrastination don't seem the same
Until you're on a deadline counting out your failures
In the eyes of the ones you trust
They'll cut you down. They'll chew you up
They'll spit you out. Forget your name and they'll cut you
