On The Cruise

This is a story
It won't fit with most categories
Sadly it's crappy, it's excretory
I have no guts to my glory
But that's no mystery
I'll find a way to be fine with my misery
My soliloquy is bittersweet
No taste of serendipity
It sucks, I ain't never once got a touch
Of victory
I was built to topple
Now is the world flipped on its side
Or was I born horizontal?
Pretty awful
But the pain is gonna linger
With my finger
On a bottle
We know hope from its absence
We don't have it
We see hope in our own
Broken fragments
You can tell there's something
Wrong with my rhythm
But everybody dances

I'm gonna lose, it's what I always do
That's how it is on the cruise
I'm gonna lose
And that's the simple truth
That's how it is on the cruise

That's how it is, and we allow it
I'm gonna lose and I don't doubt it
It's all we know to do
It's just the truth
It's hard to drown it
It's poison, but it's the dish that I was served
Of course I'm gonna eat it
First it hurts, then we repeat it
We get worse and get defeated
I wasn't meant to meet the mark
I was born without the bite
And the bark
I won't find those missing parts
Those fragments
I don't think I'll ever have it
The component
My fate but I barely own it
There's one thing that I know to be true
If you hadn't noticed, I'm stupid
Me and my hope is useless
Found my escape, all I do is overuse it
Turn the pain back into music
Singing a song about how I'm stupid
To think that my hope wasn't useless
I found my escape just to abuse it
And turn the pain back into music
I'm gonna lose it

I'm gonna lose, it's what I always do
That's how it is on the cruise
I'm gonna lose, I'll get another bruise
That's how it is on the cruise
On the cruise, oo
On the cruise, oo

Who would've guessed it?
All we do is accept it
Because maybe I won't feel it if I choose not to confess it
I found a new thing to combine
To get this thought out my mind
No attention is paid to the fact that we're not fine
I'll find something along the sea
On the ocean breeze
The world is on fire
And I'll find a way to freeze
What I desire is a dream
Cause I'm tired
And all that I want to do is go to sleep

Before I lose, it's all I ever knew
That's how it is on the cruise
It's just the truth
And you can't drown it in a sea of booze
That's how it is on the cruise
On the cruise, oo
On the cruise, oo

I'm gonna lose
Gonna lose
I'm gonna lose
I'm gonna
Gonna lose
Don't be confused
I'm gonna lose another
Gonna lose
I'm gonna lose
I'm gonna lose my lover
Gonna lose
But it's just the truth
I'm gonna lose
I'm gonna lose on the cruise, oo

This is all I ever knew
Does it mean it's all that I can do
I'll get another bruise
It's not like I have anything to prove
It hurts cause it's the truth
So trust me when I say I'm gonna lose
I'll get another bruise
The smile hanging on my face is just a ruse
It's just the truth
Trust me when I say I'm gonna lose

Why not get a second sip of booze
It's what we seem to do when we're on the cruise
