Shoddy Workmanship - Captain, We're Sinking

My face is red from standing with it crushed against a glass wall I made myself

And the fingerprints are all that’s left of the hands

That were reaching in to wrap around my neck again

Now the only memories I have of you waiting to save the ones you love

To break your friend, save your face

Can you hear me breathe?

Can you hear me breathe?

Sunday: I know you’re sleeping, I know I said I wouldn’t drink

But someone mentioned that an ounce of wine would absolve me of all my sins

So I took a shot for Mary, and I took two for your son

I had a few for my own self pity and I felt innocent again

And now it’s 4am Monday morning, I just missed my last drink, and my hands are

shaking

Can you hear me breathe?

Can you hear me breathe?

Can you hear me breathe?

And don’t take me at the word, it’s just the state I’m in

I’m drunk and I am worn out, and these sleepless nights are beating me

It’s the irony, it’s the self defeat of giving up the crutch

It’s like a grudge you’ll be forgiven, but right now I need another one

So things have to change, my brother are you ok?

Things just have to change, my brother are you ok?
