Everyone is jumping ship except for me

I was once a hero now I can’t believe

The way I feel about it

Used to be a dream

Don’t be tempted by their beauty or their songs

We were warned about these dangers all along

Thought that I could fight it

But I’m not that strong.

Tied myself to the mast

Pulled the rope too tight

There’s no more slack

“Tune them out,” they said it’s harder than it sounds

Feeling sick inside I keep screaming out loud

If I ever slip these knots I’d surely drown.

Tied myself to the mast

Pulled the rope too tight

There’s no more slack

Can’t go ‘round and can’t go back

While the days move slow

These years go by so fast

Worse storms have tried to drag me down to hell

Slow and steady ride all alone at the helm

These sirens cry but I can save myself

Save myself

Tied myself to the mast

Pulled the rope too tight

There’s no more slack

Can’t go ‘round and can’t go back

While the days move slow

These years go by so fast
