Mass Lyrics
what i have seen
let me repay
their lives
their dreams
i'll give this mass
to the depths to crush
and rust my shell
i could have saved them
what i could have done
they will never know
while they died in pain
i kept afloat
i could have saved them
i could have sunk down
i was constructed for this
it was not my choice
what i could have done
they will never know
while they died in pain
i kept afloat
what i could have done
they will never know
i offer this vessel
to pay them back
i will seek the ice
and i will breach this hull
i will give myself completely
and i will feel the water rush in
i will watch these men drown
and i will sink down
to the depths to crush
and rust my shell
i could have saved them
to the depths to crush
and rust my shell
i could have
saved them
let me repay
their lives
their dreams
to the depths to crush
and rust my shell
i could have saved them
they will never know
while they died in pain
i kept afloat
i could have saved them
i could have sunk down
it was not my choice
what i could have done
they will never know
while they died in pain
i kept afloat
what i could have done
they will never know
to pay them back
i will seek the ice
and i will breach this hull
i will give myself completely
and i will feel the water rush in
i will watch these men drown
and i will sink down
and rust my shell
and rust my shell
i could have
saved them

about a sinking ship i guess?!
To me, it's about his failed attempt or attempts to save souls from commiting suicide. Me, I am in a very dark place tonight. Getting drunk alone and listening to this album on repeat may sound like an embarrassing Friday night for most, but to me it is survival. Maybe he is singing to those who he could not save. But this music saves me.
