So Long My Captain

from So Long My Captain by Drowned Out

lyrics

He broke in new shoes
With hopes they’d take him places he’s never been to
Then slowly learned
That everything is the same to him

So he loved someone new
And she only showed him he is alone
Yes, he tried so hard to erase the scar from the woman he loved so

“I’ll go where I hear oceans never sleep
Making them the best company.”
I hear oceans never sleep
Making them the best company for the lonely

He slowly learned that the ocean is the loneliest thing
When you go alone, well you learn to, learn to die slow

He wrote to her something new
(He wrote he’d fade away, in a beautiful endless grave)
That he loved her slow
(And the memory of his name, will slowly fade away.)
Yes he tried so hard but the world is a dark place, yes now he will sink away

Now he sings in oceans that never sleep
And you can hear him from shore
It starts off a scream but then ends peacefully
When he sings his song for the lonely

I’ll waste away, under waves
You’ll hear me say, you’ll hear
“I wrote a song for the lonely only so she’d hear me
And I don’t think she heard a thing
I will fade away from her memory and I will sink
I would have done anything for her, ironically
She’s what killed me, killed me, killed me."

"I wrote a song for the lonely only so she’d hear me
And I don’t think she heard a thing
Now I will fade to the bottom of seas
And I will sing her name forever
I’ll waste away”
