Story behind the song
It's a song about the struggles of a distraught 17 year old. I sat down one day, and played this song as if I had written the song before. So I rushed to find paper and get down the words I had just sang. After about ten minutes, I had a second verse and a bridge. And about a week later, Aaron Sigler mentioned that I should write a song about a drawing of mine. It was drawn from a picture of sunken ship with a scuba diver sitting on top of it (as if he were sailing a sunk ship). So I put the drawing's metaphorical meaning on paper, and it became a part of the final verse. It's a depressive lyric but one that I'm proud to have written.
Lyrics
This one's for the times I tried to tell you that I missed you; When I'd just hide inside myself and you'd confuse my silence for issues. As you'd fight the lies you tried to hide, while you're wishing that you cared. This one's for the times you tried but you were high, you were not there. This one's for the time I tried to take my life at seventeen; when I saw no end and hid from friends and life and coming clean. This one's for the shame of my parents and a forgotten confidence; and from the things inside that cry "it's time to die; it's time to end." And looking back into the face of it I'm catching different shades and tastes if bliss; And somewhere begging for the breathing rights is my lost cause search for peace of mind. This one's for the time I failed and sailed a sunken ship that we call life; And for the consequence of losing my grip from the memories of that night. This one's for the times I could and should have tried, but turned form coming clean. This one's for the time I tried to take my life at seventeen.
