Titanic

by products-of-insomnia

You're only here because it's cold and you've got ice in your veins and the sun sets in your heart an hour early You asked me to draw skull tattoos on your arm So you'd appear tougher than you are But those skulls are drawn in pen They're temporary like your promises And when you go home at night the icebergs will go back the way they came sink your ships and drown you in pain No one is going to save you because you drowned the lifeguard too

Yep. This is actually about the Titanic itself. Like, literally. I'm kidding, of course. This is about a smaller boat.
