Sinking Ships (Rats)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I can feel it coming up and spreading inside of me
It warms the blood and it eats away the memory
From my pen you expected the sweet honey to drip
But the words come out like rats leaving a sinking ship, yeah, look at them run
Your famous discretion, how you so proudly call it,
Well, I'm afraid, honey, that it crumbled down to the powder in your wallet
And all the different shapes and forms which you control
From the whitest and purest to the whore of alcohol, ah, look at her run
We'll get to know your sad side again (x4)
