Jump ship
No man wants to be alone on a sinking ship
so we drag other down with us
and they believe theyre saving us
but all we fucking want is just one more hit
before we give it up for good this time
i swear i'm off the shit this time
but the look in my eyes tells you that i'm lying
because i know i'm better off alone
don't bother talking to me, nobody is home
to answer the call or the knock at the door
just a body in a heap facedown on the floor
vacant except for shallow breathing
