Lyrics Captain, We're Sinking

Captain, We're Sinking

Books

Hold on to faith and a divine and guiding hand

Soon to leave all our mistakes

Whatever mercy lies between us, forgiveness remains

And there are doctors and nurses

And they've got husbands and wives

And they're circling like vultures around sick beds

Watching families cry

Yeah, I'll be alright

Whatever darkness lies in me is reborn as a light to guide all of you

Wrap my hands around an IV line

I'll promise not to be afraid

And we take all of our memories together

And we watch them replay

Hands skillfully guide machines

Blending heartbeats and monotonic frequencies

I'll be leaving

Please don't grieve for me

Compared to the years spent alone

I'd rather die by all of you

Don't remember me the way I used to be

Don't remember me the way I used to be

As eyes flutter closed

Hands skillfully guide machines

Mirror heartbeats sad and slow

Subtle and low

Time to let go

Don't remember me the way I used to be

Compared to the years spent alone

I'd rather die by all of you
