Sinking Ships Lyrics by SlyphStorm

2013

Okay. The world presents some problems
And we don't know what to do!
You’ve come to find your feelings
Aren't exactly what you knew
The odds are stacked quite poorly
If without a winning hand
But bear in mind your bearing's
Only worse if you don’t
[Chorus]
-Chin up! Don't bet on sinking ships
Because they'll turn your chips to trash!
You've got to set your sights and hopes
On setting not to crash!
The truth can seem quite bleak
If you don't make your plans unfurl
But I would not let that mar my opinion of the -
Fact is that if you could fix
The feelings of the current paradigm
We would have a hero
Who's both been elusive and on time
Just one time
And then
We would all contrive new conflicts!
[Chorus]
Chin up! Don't bet on sinking ships
Because they'll turn your chips to trash!
You’ve got to set your sights and hopes
On setting not to crash!
The truth can seem quite bleak
If you don’t make your plans unfurl
But I would not let that mar my opinion of the-
[Chorus]
Chin up! Don't bet on sinking ships
Because they’ll turn your chips to trash!
You've got to set your sights
And hopes on setting not to crash!
The truth can seem quite bleak
If you don't make your plans unfurl
But I would not let that mar my opinion of the-
Stipulations placed before you
To get all the things you really need
Mr. Big may make things hard
But you have got to plant your seeds
Go to war
Fight more
Your dreams thrive by competition
You'll find no one famous ever
Got there just by flinching at their foes
Cling against the torment
Claw with all your might at what you know
Don’t let go!
Just grow!
Don't wait or play to indecision!
[Chorus]
Chin up! Don't bet on sinking ships
Because you've got to be more grand!
You've got to think ahead
And carry out the things you've planned!
The truth can be of use
When you can see where falsehoods lay
Don't quit on hopes or dreams
When you have simply got to
[Chorus]
Chin up! Don't bet on sinking ships
Because they'll only drag you down!
You've got to keep on sailing
Even when you want to frown!
The world will keep on turning
Without matter where you land
You might as well be running
When your feet should hit the sand
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Chin up! Don't bet on sinking ships
Because you've got to be more grand!
You've got to think ahead
And carry out the things you've planned!
The truth can be of use
When you can see where falsehoods lay
Don't quit on hopes or dreams
When you have simply got to
-Chin up! Don't bet on sinking ships
Because they'll only drag you down!
You've got the means to live
And it needs merely to be found
