Sinking Vessel Lyrics

Is this everything you ever wanted in your life?

Is this what you worked for when you left it all behind?

Is this just another sentimental fleeting thought?

Or exactly where you wished that you would be?

Driving it all home were the things you had all wrong

Thinking you were right, but learning all along

You built up a wall that couldn't be climbed

Grounded for so long, it's time to fly

You ended up right where you wanted

It's just took too long to light it

You burn all quiet and mighty

People punch a clock even when they'd rather die

Put up with the bullshit just to keep your home alive

You gotta cash that paycheck at the end of every week

If it's not a sinking vessel, it's a leak

You ended up right where you wanted

It just took too long to light it

You burn all quiet and mighty

I could tell you liked it even more

A bigger smile on your face, you've never had before

It was unequivocal, what was said to me

I'm not a little cynical, I'm quite a lot, you see

I had to jump back in a life raft now

A good swimmer but I got tired

Sometimes you need to float above the rising tide
