Down With The Ship

I turn on every light in my house at night

I make it so bright so there’s nowhere to hide

But the shadows find their way into my mind

I put my favorite records on

To try and chase that song off of my tongue

But when the records done it digs itself back up

I tore up all the photographs

And every letter that you sent

At least that’s what I tell myself I did

But like some kinda cursed artifact

Something always makes it back

And I find it in the place where it was hid

By me long ago one day

And I know I should throw it away

But I never take my best advice

I never think I should think twice

I always end up on this sinking ship

But if you want to be a captain like me

You know you’re gonna get lost at sea

And you know you’ll end up sleeping with the fish

I draw sator squares above my doors

And no omens get ignored

I pay careful attention to my creaking floors

I painted all my mirrors black

So I’d never see you looking back

But everyday the paint it peels and cracks

Most of my best friends are ghosts

But you’re the one I miss the miss the most

And I wish that I could wish your soul away

But I tell stories about you

Until everyone I know starts to miss you too

And your spirit’s getting stronger everyday

I know I should let go and move on

But I don’t think that I’m that strong and...
