The Foundering

from I'm not the joke! by Rswll

/

lyrics

Don’t fight the foundering, dear
There are no closures here
No doors to shut
No sinking ships to jump

But you can swim back to me
I know you, lovely
Better than anyone ever will love me
Me
I will love me most
I will love me most

So here’s a toast to the ghost I once was
Drifting from the ports to the starboards
Albatross clown
Bathed in my bad luck
Played up the stuck
Still steeped under my own thumbs

Don’t fight the foundering, dear
There are no closures here
No, no, no-no, no
No doors to shut
When we’ve already sunk

But you can swim up to me
Drowned, eyes muddied
I’m your friend!
Don’t forget how I loved me
Me
I will love me most
(I will love me most)

So here’s a toast to the ghost I once was
Drifted from the ports to the starboards
Albatross clown
Plucking her own down
Having found no nest

Don’t fight the foundering, dear
The seabed singing near

Don’t fight the foundering, dear
There are no closures here
No, no, no-no, no
No doors to shut
The water’s in and we’ve not won
