Sinking Ship - Opus Däi

Sinking ship, how long can you hold still, your illness spills against my face

Sinking ship how long can you hold still, look at you, feel the coming waves

A perfect Sunday portrait of my mother painting horses all alone

Of lovers and of leavers still believing they are free to come back home

ooooh

ooooh

ooooooooh

Sinking ship how long can you hold still your illness is all that you are

A portrait of my father as a baby sleeping underneath the stars

A small pill of forgiveness I am giving to myself, it’s what I need

A small gift of fufillment I am hoping you will open and recieve

ooooh

ooooh

ooooooooh

Sinking ship how long can you hold still your illness fills this empty mirror

A portrait of you lover softly drowning in the warm waters of June

A perfect Sunday portrait of my mother sending signals through the drums

A portrait of my sadness finding shelter in the safety of my home

ooooh

ooooh

ooooooooh
