The Ship of Broken Dreams

Come aboard the ship, the ship of broken dreams,
All you need is yourself and a couple little things,

A pocketfull of misery, bursting at the seams,
A suitcase filled to the brim with your worst bad dreams,

A pocketwatch that tells no time,
It only shows the hours that haven't gone by,

A confidence that runs and hides,
A smile that masks the pain inside,

Open eyes that do not see,
A silver lock that has no key,

Behind you drags a trail of chain,
Linked together by rage and pain,

So climb aboard, we'll take you in,
On the ship of broken dreams, we'll teach you how to swim
