Dancing on a Sinking Ship

I'm sitting in front of these
Blank pages again
Can I find the words to etch these thoughts?

I live day to day
Trying to be better to myself
But only now I've realized

I'm only really good with you
When I hate myself
Will I find my way out of this drought?

If you won't love me
I'll find ways to love myself
I'm dancing on a sinking ship

Am I all that I can be?
Or am I only the voice in my head
I don't know if I can breathe
In this skin that's not made for me

Throwing paper into an ashen furnace
Hoping that some distant god will hear me
Am I singing to a silent stone?
Or am I calling to an empty echo?

If you won't love me
I'll find ways to love myself
I'm dancing on a sinking ship

Am I all that I can be? (Am I all that I can be)
Or am I only the voice in my head
I don't know if I can breathe (I don't know if I can breathe)
In this skin that's not made for me

Tell me now or tell me later
Doesn't matter anyway
Cause nothing burns when there's no air

Tell me now or tell me later
Doesn't really matter anyway
I'd rather drown than beg you to be fair

Tell me now or tell me later (Am I all that I can be)
Doesn't matter anyway
Or am I only the voice in my head
Tell me now or tell me later, doesn't really matter anyway
In this skin that's not made for me
