Shipmate

In a 40 tonne steal vessel
You'd think your safe
But the waves are hassle 
Higher than the empire state
Tossing us around,
Like a childs play thing 
Up high then suddenly down
Left to right like a swing
Hanging on to a table
With my head full of lumps
Not feeling very stable
Getting battered by loose junk
I want to go home now
It's been long enough
I'm cold, scared and half drowned 
Seawater covering all of us
 Never change your ships name
Was a scream I heard
The captains to blame
The oceans proving the curse
I'm too young to die
And not in this way
I cannot tell a lie
Save me i pray
