Giles Corey - Born on a Sinking Ship lyrics
[Giles Corey - Born on a Sinking Ship lyrics]
Here comes the ocean rushing in
The salty taste of being depressed
I feel it in my bones before
I even notice that it's back
So I pull out the same 4 chords
In hopes it can be redressed
Because I was born on a sinking ship
Depression isn't even the worst of it
But, I don't even care, I don't give a shit
Because I know it's hopeless
"Hey, Dan" "Oh, hey man, what's up?"
"Oh, nothing, I just heard you over here and
Uh you sound like you're feeling pretty down
Huh?" "yeah, you know? I've been feeling
Really depressed lately I
Don't know why it just comes on me
You know?" "Well, listen, man
It sounds like you could use
A little advice i
Think I can help are you down for that?"
"Sure, man, yeah, definitely you know
Let me have it I -
I want your honest opinion"
"You really want my honest opinion?"
"yeah, definitely, definitely you know
Just give it to me straight"
"Alright, man well
This is what we've all been thinking: "
Why don't you just fucking slit your wrists?
Why don't you just go and get on with it?
Why don't you just fucking go
And slit your wrists?
But, you'll never go through with it
When the going gets tough you always quit
You're a fucking coward and
You're full of shit
Everybody dies so just get over it
Because we all know it's hopeless
But we don't sit inside a
Bathtub and ponder it
And we don't milk our father's
Death to make music
And you're not fucking crushed
You're just an idiot
Depressive and boring a shut-in, all-knowing
Uncreative, egotist
Why can't you write
Something like Deathconsciousness?
Well, I hate to break it to you
But I'm hit or miss
And I don't know if I'll ever get over it
But, I know i'm hopeless
The salty taste of being depressed
I feel it in my bones before
I even notice that it's back
So I pull out the same 4 chords
In hopes it can be redressed
Because I was born on a sinking ship
Depression isn't even the worst of it
But, I don't even care, I don't give a shit
Because I know it's hopeless
