lyrics

I couldn't fall asleep
The ships docked too early, and I wasn't ready to be saved
Oh, your bed felt strange
You were clinging relentlessly on to the pillow case

The ships came in too soon
They sent in the sentry
With lifeboats and white flags aplenty,
But I wanted to stay

I guess I missed my window
I am always jumping way too high
Or maybe it was you who thought the grimy moon was way far out of sight

And oh, Tragedy, how I would die
To float in to heaven,
Lazy, contented
With you on my mind

The sinkin' ships the burnin' bridges
We've manifested our on demise
I saw her in your eyes,
Melpomene

You cast your nets out
You don't care what your bringin' in
A strange embodiment of a man
Or a muse
Either way, you're singin' the blues

Sweet Misery
The apathy grew wild as a thicket
The bed we made in your name
Oh, it was covered in blood

I've seen the sun rise over that desert
I felt the bloodlust of your sands
I've spent a lifetime as a child
Searching for your hand
Melpomene

The ships came in too soon,
But I wanted to stay
