Everyone's an island. So don't you try to leave yours!
THIS SHIP IS SINKING
I built this arc to save my memory To leave my island full of tears After waiting too long I finally put to sea Left behind not the last bit of my gears All that remains Is my face - is my name All the bad things and the pain I took away with me.
This ship is sinking With it’s captain still on board This ship is sinking Fulfilling what he was taught This ship is sinking.
Mile after mile stretched to years The battles left their marks on me But to be on deck was always a save place to be No one could ever hurt me too bad But the weight of my heart Was increasing day by day So my carriage will find it’s way undersea.
This ship is sinking...
Every now and then I met some other floats Tryin’ to go where I have been But good advices they all left unheard Stony bodies wrapped in coats I hoped to reach The island that used to be yours But I’ll never arrive On your promising coast.
This ship is sinking...
