Captains Ballad

(N) The day the cash cow died gambled my savings on its hide
Milked that udder dry praying that the prize homogenized
Some bad luck, fat separated it was skim I'm just a sad fuck
Through my shirt I can see my ribs
Your cutting class, I'm cutting coupons just to save a buck
I'm cutting back, your cutting cupid
Just to drink his blood, to save the love
Fuck it save yourself, this is a sinking ship
If I go down I'm bringing every everybody with
Oh, the day I was born I was sharp as a whip
But man, I swear the drugs dulled me down a little bit
My candles got no wick, my flashlights never lit
So I just sit and I get lit and then I sharpen my pencil tip
And scribble the thoughts of my mind on the wall
The charcoal it reads "repent from the fall"
The fallen have risen escaped from the prison
There chasing, I'm facing, I'm running away
Look at the stars I'm starting to pray
But the stars they just look and laugh at my face
Oh they just laugh at my face, yeah they just laugh at my face
Then supernova then burn away

Now I only pray to the god of ashtray, grey skies, greys skies
Grey day, grey day, mayday, mayday, mayday, mayday
MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY

This is a sinking ship, all aboard, all aboard (mayday)
This is a sinking ship, man I'm so fucking bored
This is a sinking ship, all aboard, all aboard
This is a sinking ship, man abort, man abort
This is a sinking ship, all aboard all aboard (mayday)
This is a sinking ship, man I'm so fucking bored
This is a sinking ship, all aboard, all aboard
This is a sinking ship, man abort, man abort

(D) Going down to the bottom of the ocean and beyond
I'll pray to anything if only my soul could carry on
The lost passenger that brought a bomb in his carry on
And it looks like he's taking the rest of us with him
It's like I'm nowhere where I planned to be
Now as the profits grow so grows the hole that's in my sanity
Call me home humanity and
Don't cap my heightened sense of enlightenment
I'm trying to get the most out of these multi-vitamins
Now as the demon grows I just invite him
In in spite of it being a bad idea
Laziness is something I still sometimes feel
Craziness is something confined and beautiful enough
I could kneel at the altar and pray to it
———— my whole world spins off balance
My hallmark dreams are the bowl still in search of the lost salad
Using the spoons as paddles, rowing
Keeping the captains ballad repeated like
Repeated like, repeated like

This is a sinking ship, all aboard, all aboard (mayday)
This is a sinking ship, man I'm so fucking bored
This is a sinking ship, all aboard, all aboard
This is a sinking ship, man abort, man abort
This is a sinking ship, all aboard, all aboard (mayday)
This is a sinking ship, man I'm so fucking bored
This is a sinking ship, all aboard, all aboard
This is a sinking ship, man abort, man abort
