Systems & Stories - Shipwreck in a Bottle

Break through the surface
Peel back my skin
Listen for the cracks in my voice
When the alluring thoughts begin
When you stare into my blood shot eyes
And taste disaster on my breath
Will you still call this home
Or see the splintered man who's left
What you don't know could kill you quick
Cuz sometimes the first to love’s the first to sink
And I don’t wanna drag you drown with me
I don't wanna drag you down
Is it wisdom is it pity
Is it blindness or a whim
Cuz I'm a shipwreck in a bottle
On an ocean you can't skim
When you see the dirt that stains my hands
And hear the cunning of my tongue
Will you love me or will you appraise
All the damage that I've done
What you don't know could kill you quick
Cuz sometimes the first to love’s the first to sink
And I don’t wanna drag you drown with me
I don't wanna drag you down
So don't let me be the reason
That you test the limits of your heart
Cuz if I was worth it I'd have been there already
I'd have been there from the start
Do you believe in me
Well how could you
Do you believe in me
You wouldn't dare
Well how could anyone
What you don't know could kill you quick
Cuz sometimes the first to love’s the first to sink
And I don’t wanna drag you drown with me
I don't wanna drag you down
