Sinking Ships In Lost Metaphors
Redefining what you think is courtesy
This sinking ship we've found
Remains the perfect metaphor
In all the worst ways
You're already in my head
You're the antithesis of life advice I give myself
But I could be sinking deeper
I could be hurting more with your knife in my back
And my back against the wall
(We both know I think of you
Ten times more than you think of me)
But how could I confess
When this ship is sinking anyways?
This sinking ship we've found
Reminds me of us
In the best possible way
Making the best out of a dire situation
But I could be sinking faster
And I could be hurting more
With your knife in my throat
And your voice in my head
It holds more power than my own at this point
But I could be sinking deeper
And I could be lost within the thoughts of you in my mind
But of course I'm not,
That's why I'm writing a poem about you
Reel me back,
I'm dreaming too big again
Maybe I like to pretend that you're imagining this too
Making the best of a dire situation,
I'm always too lost for my own good
In fact, I'm drowning in deeper waters
Then this sinking ship we've found
(We both know I think of you
Infinitely more than you'll ever think of me)
But that's okay
Cause for what it's worth
I always could be sinking faster
How could I confess
When this ship is sinking anyways?
How could confess
When this ship is sinking anyways?
