saddest expressions
from tear staind faces
blood shot eyes
to cover the spaces

of a heart in place
to do the killing
remember my words
as at your feet im kneeling

"ill cut you down
and crush your dreams
put a knife in your heart
and rip out the seams"

of lifes great tragedy
a soul of unrest
I gave you my all
"Captain, i confess"

"I beg you forgive me"
"Walk the plank"
"This is your punishment
for filling my blank"

"Any last words before you go"
"In fact i do since you asked
These 2 and a half years,
have been a blast

I want you to know i love you
but since you insist that I leave
Ill tear the memories from my heart
and with my head believe

Pretend you dont care
as i taste the sea
but one fact reigns true
i loved unconditionally

I wish i had some clever way to say
That i hate us now and all weve become
I mean We would lay and talk captain
but now we're just coming undone.

So before i go
What i've been trying to say
I Cant let go captain
but you dont want me to stay

So goodbye captain
my death awaits me
into the sea
my waves now betray me

I guess ive been stalling
thinking you'd ask me to stay
but you mean it this time
My hearts in your way

So jump he did
and with a thunderous splash
his soul became hers
as the waves crashed

He still calls from the seas depths
and she went on to conquer ships
his heart cries from his watery prison
And he only tastes the seas salty lips
