I'll be the salt that resides
From the water that drains from your eyes
The sting that burns your open wounds
I'll flood the ground
I swear on your grave I'll bury this town
But not for me, no, never for me
No, not for me, no, never
We have tested the buoyancy of loyalty
You left our lungs for canteens
You left out ankles for anchors
We thought your arms were tied behind your back
But elastic bands tied your hands
You swim with reckless
Abandon ship! Mayday! Mayday!
Swim toward shore
Our captain is overboard
He punctured holes in the floorboards
To flood the bow just in time to bow out
Abandon ship!
Swim towards shore
He's over bored and overboard
Left in the wake
We man our own driftwood orphanage
A second-hand sailor's fleet to flee
Left in the wake
We man our own driftwood orphanage
Captain is over bored and overboard
Captain kept calling
Abandon ship! Mayday! Mayday!
Swim toward shore
Our captain is overboard
He punctured holes in the floorboards
To flood the bow just in time to bow out
Abandon ship!
Swim towards shore
He's over bored and overboard
He's over bored and overboard
And there's nothing you can do
When water ruins the maps we drew
Mayday! Mayday!
Save us from this drowning vessel
And there's nothing you can do
When water ruins the maps we drew
Mayday! Mayday!
Save us from this drowning vessel
I'll be the salt that resides
From the water that drains from your eyes
The sting that burns your open wounds
I'll flood the ground
I swear on your grave I'll bury this town
But not for me, no, never for me
We have tested the buoyancy of loyalty
You left our lungs for canteens
You left out ankles for anchors
We thought your arms were tied behind your back
But elastic bands tied your hands
You swim with reckless
And there's nothing you can do
When water ruins the maps we drew
Mayday! Mayday!
Save us from this drowning vessel
And there's nothing you can do
When water ruins the maps we drew
Mayday! Mayday!
Save us from this drowning vessel
