IN REFERENCE TO A SINKING SHIP LYRICS

1. Defeated

Nothing can make me stronger
Nothing can save my soul
Wipe the blood from the stone and repent
But you will never be forgiven

I am numb
I don't feel a thing (I don't feel a thing)
The damage has already been done
You have ruined me

I will not forgive
I will never forget
I struggle for air
In a sea of regret

2. Dreameater

You look like yourself
You make my eyes sick
Even when I wake
You embody torture
You look like yourself, you sadist
You make my eyes sick, these visions
Even when I wake, relentless
Don't take one more step, you pervert

You embody torture
Let me rest in peace
Away from -
You destroy periphery

Man with razor blades for teeth
Devil's brain with surgeon's means
Useless prayers (hands together)
On wounded knees

Unspeakable
Incisions make it so I can't forget
Dead eyes flutter
Memory I cannot reset
Father of time, you nail me down

Crooked rests your barbed wire crown
Crooked rests -
Closed eyes mean nothing
Open eyes are empty

3. Aimless

(I am the only one left)
Relieved beyond belief just to call someplace home
Relieved beyond belief not to be on my own
But there will never be anyone there for me
So bite down

Transient as it may be
Not as transient as me
Looking up above me, I see no stars
Immobile as I am, with the soul cut out

My life is caving in on itself like a smoker's lung
Each breath shorter than the last (than the last)
And it's hard to have ambitions
When all I want to be is dead

An eternal wanderer of the earth
But dead is dead is dead is dead
Life eternal

I am the only one left

4. Bloodline

I am not your brother, sister
Father, mother, just a blister
I am not your anything

Overwhelmed dream catchers sewn
Nightmares swarm, alone
Separating soul from bone
Torn apart before my gravestone

Exit me
Limb from limb
Agony

Overwhelmed dream catchers sewn
Nightmares swarm, alone
Separating soul from bone
Torn apart before my gravestone

Save me from mutilation, suicide, premonition
Save me from mutilation, suicide

I've long been dead
How can you save the dead?

5. To Those Of Faith

You twisted, unintentional engineers
Of the apocalypse you're trying to survive
Prayers fall upon the deaf ears of man who believe they're alive

Knives, knives in the backs of -
Knives, knives in your back
Knives in the back of your missionaries
The king of kings is the king of neglect

And we're all unwilling marionettes
Controlled by your apathy, chained by regret (enslaved)
And we're all unwilling marionettes
A life on our knees and look what we get (enslaved)

Our throats are all sore from desperation
Our souls are all dead and he's waiting to collect
Our souls are all dead

And we're all unwilling marionettes
Controlled by your apathy, chained by regret (enslaved)
And we're all unwilling marionettes
A life on our knees -
Enslaved
