Captain Lyrics by Ryley Walker

The Lillywhite Sessions

2018

Crazy as I make, make my way through this world
It's for no one but me to say, what direction I should turn
As I am the captain of the ship, wanting eyes and kissing lips
Obscene as it was and will remain until I'm done

Strange as it seems, there's mutiny brewin' inside me
I don't want your pity, just the promise that it'll be alright
'Cause I am the captain of the ship, curious, handsome fingertip
The same as it was and will be 'til it's gone

I know I'm dreamin', still think it's strange
I won't be long for here, I know that I fit here

Oh, look, I'm dizzy like a cancer eating away inside of me
I don't want your pity, only the promise that it'll be okay
I am the captain of the ship, curious, handsome fingertip
Same as it was before here, after all

I know I'm dreamin', still seems untrue
I won't be long for here, it's over, but I think I lay this
On, now, your lips

Why should I be hypnotized by the promise of a long life?
Why should I hope in tiny dribbles? You glide on by, after all
