Sinking Ships Lyrics


To know her is to see that nothing is as it seems

She’ll show her true face when you’re stripped of all belief

Sweet tyrant, laying out the course with what you need

To send you through the veils of eternity

Crack me open or I’ll go down

On this sinking ship, don’t leave me to drown

Still the water bears the sound

Of my eternal plea, and all I found, and all I will

She calls you with a mirage of what you want to see

You fall into her arms as she shatters all your dreams

Sweet violence, aimed to crack the shell from which you bleed

And send you through the tree of eternity

Crack me open or I’ll go down

On this sinking ship, don’t leave me to drown

Still the water bears the sound

Of my eternal plea, and all I found, and all I will
