There you were, like an albatross
The party like a crowded harbor under darkening skies
Spread your wings, then you flew across
Enchanted me, encircled me though to my mast I'm tied
But my doubt will eat away at my resolve
And my solid moral doctrines will elude me
For in my mind, around you I revolve
No I haven't been the same since you pursued me

CHORUS: I am like the captain of a ship on fire
Burning yet still I fear the sea
I am like the captain of a ship on fire
Nowhere to run and no relief
The rain may wet the burning sail
The waves may wash above the rail
The sea grows rough, it is not enough
I am captain of a ship on fire

Took my hand, flew away with me
Led me to forbidden skies of heavenly delight
Now my ship is not the same to me
She is no comparison to your ecstatic flight
Now the wind across the deck is blowing cold
My mind no longer does as I'm commanding
The crew reports there's water in the hold
I feel the anchor's weight with every landing

CHORUS

I've poisoned the waters, darkened the sky
Burned every map and every chart
The smoke billows around me
Obscuring my lies
But it's not enough to hide my guilty heart...
You fanned the flames that bring my schooner down
But in the end you're not the one to blame
No, I knew all along that I would drown
I grab a torch and kerosene and set the mast aflame

CHORUS
