Alexa Borden Give Up the Ship lyrics

In a staggering ocean
I find myself at peace
And all that inner commotion
Came rushing to a cease

It was a terrifying dive
Into the murky waters deep
And though I'm floating so serenely
All your pressure's drowning me

Don't give up the ship
Don't give up the ship
Don't give up the ship
Don't give up the ship
Don't give up the ship
Just give into it

Just one rush of an upsurge
Disoriented me
And I know I shouldn't try to find
A way to navigate the sea

But every mouthful swallowed
Fills a hollow cavity
And though I'm lucid in your water
All your pressure's drowning me

Don't give up the ship
Don't give up the ship
Don't give up the ship

Don't give up the ship
Don't give up the ship
Just give into it

No heaven, no bliss
Could ever amount to this
No high, no fix
Could ever amount to this

I'm giving in
I can't live like this
Though no regrets
I'm desperate to forget
Desperate to forget

Don't give up the ship
Don't give up the ship
Don't give up the ship
Don't give up the ship
Don't give up the ship
Just give into it

And a calm is overflowing
And I am sinking to a grave
No need to cry, for it was I
Who tied this stone around my leg
