My iniquity is timeless
I am surely mindless
I pass on with this storm
Fighting back the icy winds and fatigue to keep me warm
Pulling on this fraying rope that ties me 

To this ritzy view of bliss
Thats anchoring my tired feet to feeling pain like this
It’s just a sickly, sad ending to another nightmare

You want to claim is timed as perfectly as the wind upon your sail
But I keep plunging
Down
Down
Down
And you will follow me down
When your own mast is snapped and it starts flailing towards the ground
I will smile when I dip under, I will bear my teeth and grin
That I died like a coward, but you went on living like this

The storm continues on as the flood remains to pour
And I can’t grasp the fact that I’ve left my heart back on the shore
What I would give to walk on water

What I would give to hold your hand
What I would do to have the devotion it takes to make it back to land
What can I do but cry in agony
As my sinking ship goes down?
Will you hold my soul above the waves
When my body drowns?
