American Music Club - Song of the Rats Leaving the Sinking Ship lyrics

Once you rode a tide, it was always flowing out towards the sky It was like a dancer who followed your steps It was like a lover who could take you to the dawn It was like a history you could throw away yeah... Now the sea is throwing back all the voices who don't want to drown Every wave is like a soldier who will fade back into the fear where the soldiers are made trapped with your first cla** papers on a lonely dock where the future is a luxury to mock You can laugh, you can cry, you can even bitterly grieve But you can't deny that it's time to leave your indecision is poison, worse than broken bones or the coffin your either standing still or your running out You're like a safety door that's stuck and won't open for a fire or a summer day All you do is tire But you don't have to try - everyone wants to be deceived But you can't deny that it's time to leave I swear you want to say goodbye even more than you want to breathe But you can't deny that it's time to leave The enemy always lies Hides like a match in a lump of coal He won't use his eyes He hates you for your soul He hates you for soul..
