Rat on a Sinking Ship

Another dead end,

Amidst the skeletons

Another martyr

Is a rat on a sinking ship

We love the odysseys

And menstruating on

Another victim is a rat on a sinking ship

They prayed

To calm the ocean

But the sea only swelled

Capsized,

Swallow the ocean

What did become of your tears

Grotesque and ignorant

Before they came to rest

Another victim is a rat on a sinking ship

Leeches and heretics

Pitiful parasites

Another judas is a rat on a sinking ship

They prayed

To calm the ocean

But the sea only swelled

Capsized,

Swallow the ocean

What did become of your tears

I can't shoot, this smile off your face

I cannot look you in the eyes

I can't shoot, this smile off your face

I cannot look you in the eyes
