Tim McCoy - Sinking Vessel

Is this everything you ever wanted in your life?
Is this what you worked for when you left it all behind?
Is this just another sentimental fleeting thought?
Or exactly where you wished that you would be?
Driving it all home were the things you had all wrong
Thinking you were right, but learning all along
You built up a wall that couldn't be climbed
Grounded for so long, it's time to fly
You ended up right where you wanted
It's just took too long to light it
You burn all quiet and mighty
People punch a clock even when they'd rather die
Put up with the bullshit just to keep your home alive
You gotta cash that paycheck at the end of every week
If it's not a sinking vessel, it's a leak
You ended up right where you wanted
It just took too long to light it
You burn all quiet and mighty
I could tell you liked it even more
A bigger smile on your face, you've never had before
It was unequivocal, what was said to me
I'm not a little cynical, I'm quite a lot, you see
I had to jump back in a life raft now
A good swimmer but I got tired
Sometimes you need to float above the rising tide
