Take a look at yourself
Draw a breath before your lungs collapse
Dying to stay afloat
As the waves crash o'er your head
To drag you down below
We could've navigated by the stars
With the marks across your arms
As the needle of your compass seems to leave a nasty scar
And in your own reflection you could see
The ghost with sunken features where my best friend used to be
Castaway, like driftwood to the tide
I can't swim you back to shore
You can tie your own noose
Held fast to an anchor of your self-abuse
You can't drag me down with you
You can plot your own course
Abbandoned all hope like a widow at port
You've burned all the maps and sailed into the storm
Take a look at yourself
The haggard sailor washed ashore
The dull and listless eyes
Languished from the years at sea
Consumed by his own vice
Lured away by siren songs, your wanderlust betrayed
And dashed your ships upon the rocks now left in disarray
Float away, like feathers in the breeze
I can't mend your tattered sails
