Sinking Ships Lyrics

It's out of my hands
All we ever had fucking time destroys me
But not like you, you erode me
Wouldn't have it any other way
And I couldn't have it any other way
My search for devotion is wearing very thin
Excess fucking emotion
And I can't just shake the burden
I'll never shake this burden
As these clocks tick they echo in my mind
Hours weeks spent without you
It's dead romantic like a sinking ship
Kill all the sad songs fuck them all
My search for devotion is wearing very thin
Excess fucking emotion
And I can't just shake the burden
I'll never shake this burden
Live in dreams it's the only way
The dreams you live happy
The dreams you die content
It's all I ask for
I just can't wait until the end
Until my last breath

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
