Rat On A Sinking Ship

(album: Beating A Dead Horse To Death... Again - 2008)

Another dead end
Amidst the skeletons
Another martyr
Is a rat on a sinking ship

We love the odysseys
And menstruating on
Another victim is a rat on a sinking ship

They prayed
To calm the ocean
But the sea only swelled
Capsized
Swallow the ocean
What did become of your tears

Grotesque and ignorant
Before they came to rest
Another victim is a rat on a sinking ship
Leeches and heretics
And ample parasites
Another Judas is a rat on a sinking ship

They prayed
To calm the ocean
But the sea only swelled
Capsized
Swallow the ocean
What did become of your tears

I can't shoot, this smile off your face
I cannot look you in the eyes
I can't shoot, this smile off your face
I cannot look you in the eyes

They prayed
To calm the ocean
But the sea only swelled
Capsized
Swallow the ocean
What did become of your tears...
