Ship of Fools

This ship of fools

Awash with revelry

No care for where they go

What dangers lie upon the sea

On distant shores

Past the horizon's line

Heavens and horrors stay

Both out of sight and out of mind

I know the way that I'm living

Will be the death of me

And all I'm thinking

As I'm staring down the barrel

Is how bad could that be?

My head, my heart

They never can agree

Drink and the devil put

An end to this strange mutiny

Now cast adrift

The safety that affords

I can't remember what

I'm running from or running towards

I know the way that I'm living

Will be the death of me

And all I'm thinking

As I'm staring down the barrel

Is how bad could that be?

What's the price you pay

For saying I quit?

What are you trying to prove?

What's the prize you win

For pushing through it?

Does that sound worth it to you?

This ship of fools

Awash with revelry

No care for where they go

What dangers lie upon the sea

Riding the waves

Floating with the tide

Fair wind, full sail, I'll keep

The demons just two steps behind

I know the way that I'm living

Will be the death of me

And all I'm thinking

As I'm staring down the barrel

Is how bad could that be?

What's the price you pay

For saying I quit?

What are you trying to prove?

What's the prize you win

For pushing through it?

Does that sound worth it to you?
