(Intro – soft, haunting vocals) Take one last breath, You’re standing on the edge of regret. All I ever wanted Was to love you without the threat. (Build – drums enter) Sail away from the shoreline, Sail away from the pain, I gave my heart just to feel again. Sail away from the shoreline, Sail away from the storm, Now I’m knocking at Heaven’s door. (Verse 1 – heavy guitars hit) Captain, Captain, The sails are torn and thin. Captain, Captain, I can’t tell where we’ve been. I traded my soul to calm your seas, But the tide keeps drowning me. (Pre-Chorus) The current’s strong, I can’t deny, These broken chains still keep me tied. You were my anchor, pulling me down, And I mistook your love for solid ground. (Chorus – anthemic, emotional) I’d give up my breath, my faith, my fight, To see your face in the fading light. I bled for you to feel alive, But now I see the sacrifice. Sail away—don’t turn around, You can’t save a heart that’s bound. I’m on a cruise to paradise, Such is life... (Verse 2 – screams / spoken contrast) Look what we’ve built— A kingdom of guilt, Blindfolded by promises We swore to rebuild. Every lie, a brick in the hull, Now the flood rushes in, unstoppable. Captain, Captain, The enemy’s near, Captain, Captain, We drown in fear. (Breakdown – screams & drop) Abandon all ships! Abandon all love! The water’s rising, But it’s never enough! (Bridge – soft then explodes) I’d burn my wings if you could fly, Cut my heart out just to see you smile. But every dream I’ve sacrificed Just left me hollow, left me blind. (Builds with clean & harsh vocal duet) Now I wake and realize The cost of love is suicide. But if this pain is what it takes, Then I’ll drown in the waves you make. (Final Chorus – soaring and tragic) I gave up my breath, my faith, my fight, To see your face in the fading light. I bled for you to feel alive, But now I see the sacrifice. Sail away—don’t turn around, You can’t save what’s lost and found. I’m on a cruise to paradise, And I whisper to the night... (Outro – fading echo) Such is life. Such is life. Such… is… life…
