Sinking Ship

Can't afford to move
can't afford to stay
this is your doing
your ship is sinking
you only wish for me to drown with you
 The blame is yours alone
yet you wish to share the pain
this is your meal 
dine upon your actions
it will cause many tears
your well will be filled
 My life will go on
once you become a man
accept your punishment
and set me free
