9. “Sinking Ship”

on the night of the dead

breaking your head

i'll break it like a brother

and into the night

would you fight

for the life of another?

i don’t know what you carry

like a train in the valley

distance goes without direction

war in our back alley

in the midst of despair

will you care?

i know you’re still searching

world in a hole

trying to grab your soul

you know something’s missing

just don’t give in; they’ve got it all wrong

but time is on their side

the sky is falling like a brick

and you must decide

it all is a lie

but would you die

for something that was real?

the clouds overhead

drift into your bed

you won’t see it coming

i know it seems hopeless, but there is a way

just don’t be deceived by

the easy answers that overlook

the pain in your life

it comes like a thief in the night

you will not be ready

the world is done for, a sinking ship

get off and come with me
