lyrics

The Island has closed its gates
and they have sealed your fate
The friends that you thought you knew
are turning their backs on you

The lies of the party clown
handed his golden crown
The turmoil will soon ensue
crying; "what shall we do?"

There's nothing left and nowhere to go
Just bury your head in the snow
Remark in a sarcastic tone
about all the things that could have grown

The sinking ship

The captain has left his post
open to any ghost
The bartering only hurts
when you're worth less than dirt

Hatred is on the rise
love hid behind the eyes
Just 52%
will bring about our descent

There's nothing left and nowhere to go
Just bury your head in the snow
Remark in a sarcastic tone
about all the things that could have grown

The sinking ship
