Sinking Ship Lyrics by Down Again

The Devil Is a Gentleman

2020

[Verse 1]
I am the captain of a sinking ship
To the bottom of the sea, I'm going down with it
They say a man goes down with his ship
I'm not a man, I'm just a boy who doesn't know how to swim
Light is fading, sound is fleeting
My mind is easing as my body's slowly sinking
If there's peace at the bottom of the sea
Well then the bottom of the sea is where I'll make my bed

[Chorus 1]
It's the silence, that's worse than anything
Am I talking to myself 'cause I don't hear a thing
What's the point, of pushing it away
When it feels so good to let go and embrace

[Verse 2]
At the bottom was a man, he called out to me
He knew my namе, he knew my pain, he knеw my suffering
These violent eyes and silent cries, said he'd seen it before
Said if God is real, then the devil is too
Told me that he could take me there
To see the devil himself and it'll end all my fears
He said boy don't be afraid
It's not like God ever answered you anyway

[Verse 3]
A sickness infects my veins
Fight or flight, sink or swim, why is it all the same
These violent eyes, these silent cries, I know there must be more
Because if God is real, well then the devil is too
This is what's left for me
All alone at the bottom of the sea
Did I make a mistake
My soul is slipping away
Is it too late for me to try and run from the grave

[Chorus 2]
It's the silence, that's worse than anything
Am I talking to myself 'cause I don't hear a thing
What's the point, of pushing it away
When it feels so good to let go and embrace
White lies burn holes in my faith
Never thought I'd end up this way
Don't fucking pray for me, just sell it to me, sell it to me
I came, I gave everything
Tried so had to be a saint
Don't fucking pray for me, just sell it to me, sell it to me

[Bridge]
Sign here on the dotted line
Don't you wanna know if it's all a lie
Sorry son, but your pen's no good
I'm gonna need it in blood
I'm gonna need it in blood
Sign here on the dotted line
Don't you wanna know if it's all a lie
Sorry son, but your pen's no good
I'm gonna need it in blood
I'm gonna need it in blood

[Outro]
I can set you free from the sea of disbelief
So what's it gonna be are you coming with me
You know where to go, meet me at the crossroads
I don't give a fuck if you live or die
So let's see what you're made of, look the devil in the eye
