lyrics

We spent the summers in a boat
Made out of ignorance and hope
Ignored the waves as they would crash against our skin

And though our so-called paradise
Was built atop a bed of lies
Still we persisted as we called each other kin

And in the end
My fragile friend
We both went under
But at least we drowned as one

And as we landed on the shore
As we had many times before
You turned to me and shed an old, familiar tear

With shaking hands and pleading eyes
You gave me your best alibis
And I, in turn, gave you the words you longed to hear

With battered souls
We played our roles
But for a moment I wished
I could tell you

No, I'll refuse to place the blame this time
You refuse to apologize
We'll just let this ever-sinking ship capsize
No more weary days and sleepless nights
No more self-destructive compromise
We'll just let this ever-sinking ship capsize

We headed back into the waves
For we were young and we were brave
And in our innocence we swore we'd make it right

So we rebuilt our broken boat
With rotting wood and fraying rope
And we continued to attempt our fruitless fight

Again we tried
Against the tide
To sail to freedom
But our efforts were in vain

And so again we fell apart
And as we floated to the start
You turned to me and told me how I'd made it fail

And as I studied you, my friend
I realized that we couldn't mend
The pieces well enough to make the vessel sail

So worn and bruised
It's time we choose
To plunge it under
I began to tell you

No, you refuse to place the blame this time
I'll refuse to apologize
We'll just let this ever-sinking ship capsize
No more weary days and sleepless nights
No more self-destructive compromise
We'll just let this ever-sinking ship capsize
