Dead Men Tell No Tales

I'll be the salt that resides
From the water that drains from your eyes
The sting that burns your open wounds

I'll flood the ground
I swear on your grave I'll bury this town
But not for me, no, never for me
No, not for me, no, never

We have tested the buoyancy of loyalty
You left our lungs for canteens
You left out ankles for anchors

We thought your arms were tied behind your back
But elastic bands tied your hands
You swim with reckless

Abandon ship! Mayday! Mayday!
Swim toward shore
Our captain is overboard
He punctured holes in the floorboards
To flood the bow just in time to bow out

Abandon ship!
Swim towards shore
He's over bored and overboard

Left in the wake
We man our own driftwood orphanage
A second-hand sailor's fleet to flee

Left in the wake
We man our own driftwood orphanage
Captain is over bored and overboard
Captain kept calling

Abandon ship! Mayday! Mayday!
Swim toward shore
Our captain is overboard
He punctured holes in the floorboards
To flood the bow just in time to bow out

Abandon ship!
Swim towards shore
He's over bored and overboard
He's over bored and overboard

And there's nothing you can do
When water ruins the maps we drew
Mayday! Mayday!
Save us from this drowning vessel

And there's nothing you can do
When water ruins the maps we drew
Mayday! Mayday!
Save us from this drowning vessel

I'll be the salt that resides
From the water that drains from your eyes
The sting that burns your open wounds

I'll flood the ground
I swear on your grave I'll bury this town
But not for me, no, never for me

We have tested the buoyancy of loyalty
You left our lungs for canteens
You left out ankles for anchors

We thought your arms were tied behind your back
But elastic bands tied your hands
You swim with reckless

And there's nothing you can do
When water ruins the maps we drew
Mayday! Mayday!
Save us from this drowning vessel

And there's nothing you can do
When water ruins the maps we drew
Mayday! Mayday!
Save us from this drowning vessel
