Song about the Captain aboard a sinking ship who must decide whether or not to go down with the ship. I recorded this no my laptop with my same old lack of equipment. But I liked messing around with the vocals in the second verse.

Lyrics
The captain on top sees the water in the boat. Oh no no no
The ship has stopped, so for now he better row.
for now he better row
Hes got to get the ship back some control
but things ain’t been this bad since years ago.
That time he dropped the anchor through the bow;
But that was back before he left the shore
Now the blue is surely deep below.
And sharks are circling that sense his soul
Abandon Ship they scream and want to know
Does he wanna join them when they go.
Oh no, whats his decision yes or no.
Stay or go? What his decision yes or no.
The ice he struck, just bad luck or maybe more.
But now he stuck, cuz hes read the books before.
He’s read the books before
He knows that its his fate to stay aboard.
And sink into an underwater gorge
But claustrophobic captains aren’t the norm.
So really theres no need to just conform
To captains in those plays he’d seen performed
So Noble, but that’s not why he was born
He turns to tells his men to let him on
But in his indecision, they have gone.
They have gone, and left the poor captain all alone.
