Shipwreck Lyrics by EJ Carey

2016

I’m in control of nothing
And you’re nothing to me
I’m way beyond the shallows
Of a dark and cloudy sea
And every time I try to breathe
I suffocate again
It seems I play the game
No one was ever meant to win
Every attempt is shot down
Like enemy planes from the sky
Oh, why can’t I
Soar without crashing
Or run without bashing
Into walls that shouldn’t come down?
Speak without cursing
Not think of the worst thing
That could happen if I turn around?
I’m worn out
The bonds I’ve made are broken
The last of my heart eroded
And the waves carry me away, away
The tide just seems to tumblе
As I stumble with each stare
How can I see a shorеline
When I know that nothing’s there?
And every time I try to swim
I’m sucked beneath the foam
Reminding me I’m in so deep
That I’m truly alone
Every attempt is shot down
Like enemy planes from the sky
Oh, why can’t I
Soar without crashing
Or run without bashing
Into walls that shouldn’t come down?
Speak without cursing
Not think of the worst thing
That could happen if I turn around?
I’m worn out
The bonds I’ve made are broken
The last of my heart eroded
And the waves carry me away, away
Each fathom closes in
With darkness that I know
The current defies depth
Pulling me where I don’t wanna go
It’s too late
To throw a lifejacket on me
Save me from who I’ve come to be
I took on water in the sound
Leave me be, I’m going down
Like the shipwreck that I am
You must be happy as a clam
‘Cause now I’m under more pressure
Than you can imagine I can hold
Every attempt is shot down
Like enemy planes from the sky
Oh, why can’t I
Soar without crashing
Or run without bashing
Into walls that shouldn’t come down?
Speak without cursing
Not think of the worst thing
That could happen if I turn around?
I’m worn out
The bonds I’ve made are broken
The last of my heart eroded
And the waves carry me away
