Skull and Crossbones..(if loose lips sink ships)

If loose lips sink ships,
then consider me a motor mouth.
and i'll keep speaking until his crows nest
is all that is peaking out of these freezing waters.

if he really is a captain,
he'll go down with the ship
so I may give you my last life raft,
because I'm getting high from drowning
in the sea of our forgotten memories

But before I get carried away.

let me steer my ship another way
to live another day,
under my own pirate flag
ripped, tattered, and torn.
it's still hard to believe I once flew the same colors as yours.
