capstan (post-hardcore) - davey jones locker lyrics

i know these vices are my own and i’ll drown in them someday but for now i’m treading waters in my youth
and my pockets may be empty but at least i know that i’m worth my weight in the people i love

i carry with me the weight of all my friend’s mistakes
they’re all i have and it’s all that i could ever take from them
and amongst the pressure this steady back won’t break
and as long as you have mine i have yours
the roads we’ve been down the days we’ve spent
will never be replaced with sorrow or repent
because i’ve told you once that strife builds men
no matter the cost i’d go through it all again

trust in your tribe within these trying times
those who are worth it will give reality its shine
it’s a safe bet
the ones you love take precedence over things you will forget
our fortune is the foundation we built with friends

believe me it’s not easy but we pave the streets we walk with hearts of gold
sticking close to the ones who helped our stories unfold
and we won’t always have full wallets or an empty conscience
but what is very real is our ship sailing into the cold

life’s about the give and take not the number of egos that you can break
higher the horse means harder the fall
these people who pick me up time and again expect me to stand tall

they say that the good times are k!lling me and recently i haven’t found the strength to disagree

but for now i’ll walk with my head held high
if this is the price for living then i’m ready to die

i’ve got knives in my eyes because i’m tired of sleep
i made a promise to myself i’d die on my feet
there are dreams that i have they don’t permit defeat
i put my trust in this world through the people i meet

don’t tell us that we’re unreasonable
we could find common ground with the devil
we would never be so low sinking down to society’s level

we know these vices are our own and we’ll drown in them someday
but for now we’re treading waters in our youth
and as the current pulls us under and we’re gasping for air
at least we’ll be together as the water fills our lungs
