lyrics
this ships going down
it's hard for you to see
you're a captain with no crew
still you're feeling like a martyr
in trepidation's face
you will procrastinate
stop working hard start working smarter
like sinking ships taking on water
no sign of land this far at sea
change is proving hard
it's harder than you know
you've sharpened all your teeth
there's no flesh for you to gnaw on
in a suspicious place
which you choose to congregate
your tired act just makes me tired
you don't know what to do
when the tide comes ripping through
the complacency you've had is gone
and it's changed everything in it's way
as the feeling is all washed away
