about

When escaping a shipwreck, one must only salvage the essentials. As I offload the unhealthy obsessions that drag me down, I can start over with a clean slate and renewed purpose.

lyrics

You’ve been in my shadow
Keeping one step behind
Thinking I wouldn’t notice
You were chewing at my pride
 
The bone’s almost dry now
How much more can you take?
Breaking down what used to give me joy
Till it’s all empty space
 
You’re the devil on my shoulder
keep on telling me to wait
’till I can’t see the sun on a clear day
The ship is going down, but I’m working up the strength
To cut you adrift, and push you away
 
Back at the beginning
When I learned how to care
Didn’t notice your presence
It’s like you weren’t even there
 
Every time there was disruption
You found your way into my heart
Shut me off from the outside world
To tear the inside apart
 
You’ve marked me with your dagger
When the treasure lies ahead
Leave me on an island of fear and dismay
The ship is going down, but I’m working up the strength
To cut you adrift, and push you away
 
Everybody’s got their demons wrapped up inside
It’s time I stopped waiting
I’m gonna learn how to turn with the tide
 
Every fearful contemplation is one more wasted breath
Taking control, starting today
The ship is going down, but I’m working up the strength
To cut you adrift, and push you away
