It’s all going down
Ive hitched my self worth
To a sinking ship
Married to the sea
My heart is an anchor
Pulling me underneath
Sinking deeper
The distance between the surface and now
The static of hypothermia
Burns blue to black
The dancing moon light dulls
We haven’t hit the ground
The awful shock in my heart
I dread every word from your mouth
Gulping salt water
While air bubbles rush out
I scream oxygen
I hear only the pops of cold depth
Sound becomes numb
Not being heard or deaf
A life with you is a plunge
A ship on the ground to rust
My heart breaks
Before my lungs burst

It’s all going down
Ive hitched my self worth
To a sinking ship
Married to the sea
My heart is an anchor
Pulling me underneath
Sinking deeper
The distance between the surface and now
The static of hypothermia
Burns blue to black
The dancing moon light dulls
We haven’t hit the ground
The awful shock in my heart
I dread every word from your mouth
Gulping salt water
While air bubbles rush out
I scream oxygen
I hear only the pops of cold depth
Sound becomes numb
Not being heard or deaf
A life with you is a plunge
A ship on the ground to rust
My heart breaks
Before my lungs burst
