Books Lyrics by Captain, We’re Sinking

The King of No Man

2017

Hold on to faith and a divine and guiding hand
Soon to leave all our mistakes
Whatever mercy lies between us, forgiveness remains
And there are doctors and nurses
And they've got husbands and wives
And they're circling like vultures around sick beds
Watching families cry
Yeah, I'll be alright
Whatever darkness lies in me is reborn as a light to guide all of you
Wrap my hands around an IV line
I'll promise not to be afraid
And we take all of our memories together
And we watch them replay
Hands skillfully guide machines
Blending heartbeats and monotonic frequencies
I'll be leaving
Please don't grieve for me
Compared to the years spent alone
I'd rather die by all of you
Don't remember me the way I used to be
Don't remember me the way I used to be
As eyes flutter closed
Hands skillfully guide machines
Mirror heartbeats sad and slow
Subtle and low
Time to let go
Don't remember me the way I used to be
Compared to the years spent alone
I'd rather die by all of you
