This life it ain't forever and now I'm feeling lost.
All the lines are painted on the pavement, they won't bring me home.
I was feeling optimistic about a lost commitment until I heard my phone.
And I felt the relapse, the need for green glass, the fire in my throat.
I guess I'm all alone drunk. I feel fucking numb.
I tried to walk with Jesus and ask him for help.
Well I dealt the question and held out my hand but I was talking to myself.
My frustration in this situation brings me down this road.
Where I can't allow myself to be without her, and now she's gone.
Was I wrong? I've known you since we were kids.
And this song is for all my dead fucking friends.
The air just got too cold. I just want to drink until I can’t feel anything.
No calm before the storm. No sunshine when she's gone.
I was feeling optimistic about a lost commitment, now I can’t find my way home.
This mirror holds the cruelest effigy. It's an image I loathe that can't be consoled.
It’s a bottle and heart full of ache. My mistake, I was wrong.
Shitfaced in the pouring rain, and this song just magnifies my misery.
I’m behind the wheel and I’m screaming.
Self inflicted, next statistic. I may have shot my faith, but if anyone is listening...
...I pray there's a day that I can wake and not feel ashamed.

A perfect punk album. What always amazes me is that it's littered with melodies and lyrics good enough on their own to build an entire song around, but Captain We're Sinking has so many great ideas, they don't need to stretch any single one beyond its welcome. This will have you coming back over and over again. John Martin

Such a damn shame that this band broke up, but buy the record anyway. A bit of a grungy punk sound with all the pop sensibilities you can fit into 10 tracks. Aj LaGambina
