lyrics

This is a sinking ship.

Followed a map drawn wrong.

X marks the spot where you stopped.

X marks the spot where you started.

You never get anywhere at all.

The water’s rushing in – sing along,

cold-shipwrecked song.

And I don’t need to wait for someone

to say I’ve steered us wrong.

I’ll say it myself: “I’ve steered us wrong.”

I’ll say it myself.

I’ll say it myself: “I’ve given up on us.”

I’ll say it myself, but…

Who makes a kid a captain?

Sure, he looks tall, but he’s a little bit short in years.

Who makes a kid a captain

and expects the ship to stay afloat?

Born to blinding light and crying waves.

Mother’s love doesn’t always keep you warm.

Mother’s love only gets you born.

There’s a map some had, but it’s said to be lost.

Fuck it – abandon ship.

All hope is dead and gone.
