Set to fail
Sails pitched with intent to drown
This is the story of the scapegoat and the silent alarm
Shift the blame
Shift the blame 'til you're comfortable
I will not ponder your meandering excuses
Shift the blame
You erased the blueprints we drew
And sprung the leak that was set on the crew
Absolve all ramifications that render your perturbation
As water rises to your knees
Aggression and false intentions deserve attention
Yet somehow the focus turns to me
The fault of mine was crossing the fault line
Thinking there would be no fractures
But captain's words are as unsteady as the waters around us
You dropped everything, you dropped everything
You gave it all away
Sullen attributes reflect like moonlight
But I was too busy watching the stars play
Distracted nights lead to disastrous days
And when the sun finally rose
You had the nerve to claim treachery
Yet you clenched the hilt and turned the blade on me
Your pallet for only the last word pushes me
To abandon another ship
As you patched the leak with no problems
With no truth
And as I learned a lesson, you learned to lie better
These open waters have never felt more soothing
This time, I have to be okay without
These open waters have never felt more soothing
This time, I have to be okay without
There's comfort in drowning
And this time, I'll be okay within
These open waters have never felt more soothing
This time, I have to be okay without
There's comfort in drowning
And this time, I won't forget
