Captain
Crazy as I may
Make my way through this world
Oh, it's for no one but me to say
What direction I should turn in now
'Cause I am the captain of this ship
Wanting eyes and kissing lips
The same as it was
And will remain until I'm done and gone
Strange, but it seems
There's mutiny brewing inside of me now
I don't want your pity
Just the promise that I'll be alright
'Cause I am the captain of this ship
Curious hands and fingertips
The same as it was
And will be until I'm gone
Oh, I know I'm a dreamer
Still think it's strange?
I won't be here for long
Oh, I know that I feel
Oh, wait and go again, again
Oh, look, I'm buried
Like a cancer eating away inside of me
I don't want your pity
Only the promise that I'll be okay now
But I am the captain of this ship
Curious hands and fingertips
The same as it was before here
Here, back after all
Why should I be hypnotized
By the promise of a long life?
Why should I hold hope
In tiny, tiny dribbles that glide by?
Why should I lean on everything upon?
I won't be here long
Oh, I know I'm a dreamer
Still seems a truth
I won't be long for here
Oh, it's so, but I think I lay this
On now your lips
I'm drowning
I am the captain of, oh, but, I'll be okay after all
Make my way through this world
Oh, it's for no one but me to say
What direction I should turn in now
'Cause I am the captain of this ship
Wanting eyes and kissing lips
The same as it was
And will remain until I'm done and gone
Strange, but it seems
There's mutiny brewing inside of me now
I don't want your pity
Just the promise that I'll be alright
'Cause I am the captain of this ship
Curious hands and fingertips
The same as it was
And will be until I'm gone
Oh, I know I'm a dreamer
Still think it's strange?
I won't be here for long
Oh, I know that I feel
Oh, wait and go again, again
Oh, look, I'm buried
Like a cancer eating away inside of me
I don't want your pity
Only the promise that I'll be okay now
But I am the captain of this ship
Curious hands and fingertips
The same as it was before here
Here, back after all
Why should I be hypnotized
By the promise of a long life?
Why should I hold hope
In tiny, tiny dribbles that glide by?
Why should I lean on everything upon?
I won't be here long
Oh, I know I'm a dreamer
Still seems a truth
I won't be long for here
Oh, it's so, but I think I lay this
On now your lips
I'm drowning
I am the captain of, oh, but, I'll be okay after all
