lyrics

Tie me down, I feel this ship is sinking.
Lord, I know that the grace I’ve received is not what I deserve.
If hope is lost, then I’m a ship lost at sea,
I have erred off my course and I will reconcile.

The waves were crashing like the world inside my head,
for once I realized there is no bliss in ignorance.
This revelation’s forced my heart towards relapse
and though my vessels torn, these hands will remain clasped.

I stare towards the ocean as this ship is slowly submerging.
I pray that we make it out alive, for your sake,
I hope that we can make it out alive.

When will rescue ships be coming for me,
I’m slowly drowning and I can hardly breathe.

Capitalize my doubts through ink & thread
and watch me fall to my knees again & again
or will you watch me drown and let the water spread?
after all I’ve built this travesty inside my head.

Tie me down, I feel this ship is sinking.
