Where have you been?
Come join us in the sinking ship
We'll stand together and pretend
The clouds in the distance are mountains
I give in to its pull, and sink into its hull
The void between fantasies
I assess, and rationalize my fate
Drowning isn't such a bad way to reach the pearly gates
I can't stand anymore, the fading of the shore
From which I was cast out to sea
Resist no matter what for, more and more
Two steps back then one forward
Until water completely surrounds me
Eighteen years of this shit, scraping by and faking it
Until somebody noticed
And now, the water's at my neck
My sinking ship's not submerged yet
But I need to make a change
And fast
I can't stand anymore, the fading of the shore
From which I was cast out to sea
Resist no matter what for, more and more
Two steps back then one forward
Until water completely surrounds me
