If This Ship Sinks

Birds Of Tokyo · Birds Of Tokyo [2010]

I'm trying to get my head straight

I'm playing in a game that I can't win

I started in the wrong place



A slap to the cold face of love

I wanna stop this goddamn beating heart

It's killing me, this is killing me



I'm trying to get my head straight

I didn't see the warning signs ahead

I feeling like a dead weight long gone



If I could make it all right I would

I never thought I'd say these things to you

And it's killing me, this is killing me



I can't stop this train, I can't get off

But I can't go back, I've come too far to stop

There's too many signs to read them all

There's too many roads, I need to stumble down



I've gotta get my head straight

I never thought a day like this would come

I'll never be the same way as once



I wanna know if this is for real

I've gotta know what fate has planned for me

I give in, I give in, I give in, I give in



Believe me when I say

There's something I wish I could say

You were always so good to me



Even when it's so hard to be

I sailed myself too far out to sea

On favored whims that won't sing for me



There'll be no rescue, no finding me

As I become an old memory

You once knew, you once knew



It's silent as I sink into the sea

Weightless as the tide carries me

To darker water where I believe

Something's down here waiting for me



The numbing cold is taking from me

Everything, I'm so far beneath

My eyes, they open one last time to see

You are staring right back me
