Good Intentions

You're on a sinking ship called Good Intentions.
But now the water flows all around you.
You can't hold your breath forever  
Despite your foolish determination.
 
They say the way to Hell is paved  
With good intentions.
I wonder who else is captain of that same ship?  
This is not a greedy man's game  
But you thought you could make it just the same.  
 
When did the lines blur
On this vast horizon?
When did your greed take over  
Despite your good intentions?  
 
They say past experience leads to wisdom.
I wonder if you will ever learn the lesson
Or will you be the wise fool?
