(V-1)

There's a fire on the outskirts and it's staring to spread
It's all that I can do to keep my head
But it's never easy when there's smoke in your eyes
God bless the good man I feel I'm lost sometimes

(1st Chorus)

The mast is broken on a confidence set sail
When there's friends helping friends fail

(V-2)

So go easy on me 'cause I swear I'm not myself
I'd love to say I'm in control but at times it's hard to tell
I'm not a wicked man I'm not given to lust
I'm just your average sinner who hurts the ones he loves

(2nd Chorus)

The mast is broken on a confidence set sail
When there's friends helping friends fail

(Bridge)

The waives came up and broke the bow
We cut the rigging and cried who can save us now
A fight broke out among the mates
For who would rise up and take the captains place
And the wind she screamed and she tore the sails

Leaving friends to help friends fail.
