Take this note

Paddle faster as the ship begins to sink
And be swallowed by the tide,
Or prepare to sleep with the sharks
Now, who here is ready to call it quits?
Not we, the damned without a guide
We're so damned and we're so blind

With our heads in the earth,
We're the ostrich, blind to see
The imminent shipwreck and sudden drowning

There's water in my lungs,
But I can breathe
There's rust in my veins,
But my heart still beats
There's water in my lungs,
But I can breathe
There's rust in my veins,
But my heart still beats
There's dementia in my brain,
But my mind still thinks

Do you still think that
Functioning on the verge of instability
Breeds chaos permeating a crash?
What a decadent display of indivine divinity,
A paradox thicker than thee

Just keep swimming as the spotlight shines,
But that fucker won't shine on you

I thrive in the fucking deep
I thrive on the fucking weak
Break me, break me
Fuel my desire
Break me, break me
Throw me onto this fire

Take this note
To the grave

And you should pray
That a passing ship
Will rescue me
I'll see you in the headlines
I'll see you in the headlines
