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
