This Sinking Ship |
I see myself in my fathers eyes |
I see my strengths and my weaknesses |
There’s children safe in their mother’s arms |
But photos can be misleading |
Right on the branches of my family trees |
That’s where the young ones are dwindling — with lies |
So will we learn? |
Talk together into the night |
Can we help this home to survive? |
We need the strength of our family’s arms |
Not a false sense of solidarity |
Walk together and we could work this out |
Talk together and we could understand |
We need the strength of our family’s arms |
I wish I knew where to go from here |
I see the sadness in all their eyes |
I understand why this burdens them |
It’s written on my grandfather’s arms |
Indian ink tells the story there |
Out on the branches of my family trees |
That’s where the young ones are suffering — with lies |
So will we learn? |
Fought together into the night |
Can we help this home to survive? |
We need the strength of our family’s arms |
Not a false sense of solidarity |
Walk together and we could work this out |
Talk together and we could understand |
We need the strength of our family’s arms |
I wish I knew where to go from here |
We were aloud to take this on |
But this can’t be here when we are gone |
Giving what we have now is to make this time |
That we have left last forever |
All that we have left is to make this time |
Last forever — Then we’ll have learned |
Look into your son and forget what you see |
Protect what you love |
And show what you mean |
Before you send this sinking ship into the sea |
God damn, I wish we knew when we started this |
