Captain without his ship

I guess swiping feels right

Hanging on to a stringless kite

I've lost so much, maybe never had anything to begin with

My identity an illusion masterfully crafted

Got on a boat, sailed right to the bottom

Sailed like a drunk captain through stormy nights

Never really knowing the depth of these heights

Looked over once or twice felt sick to the core

Some part of me scared, the other wanting more

Shit, life jacket, where is it, ah fuck its too late

Might as well sleep, talk it over with fate

Have another drink, my pockets are deep

Holed from years searching gold

Man these hands are too heavy for me to fold

I never was the type to do as I'm told

Jump, they said, save yourself, fool

A hero's demise, wearing my bravery suit

Ah dreams, maybe another shot will do

Where was I.. where am I? I lost my ship,

That's funny, not really, have you seen it?

Pretty big, hard to miss, or least it used to be

Now it's in pieces, oh gods..
