Sea of Sickness

A crazy flag flies high
on a heaving heap
she simply will not hear
that I'd rather sleep
than take her hom
it's ugly out there
get home
it's ugly out there
on the sea
the sea of sickness
clinging to anything to keep ourselves afloat
Now all those good times
they are so last week
the bow dips low
after each peak
don't you know
it's ugly out there
get home
because it's ugly out there
my savior days
are dead and over
and my sea legs
carry me homeward
on the sea
the sea of sickness
clinging to anything to keep ourselves afloat

Knots

Working away at the knots all tied up
I've always been good with my hands
you haven't really given me much to go on
I don't really know where I stand
I'm just trying to keep the butterflies
trying to keep them alive
waiting on your call
I'm drinking all night long
to have something to do with my hands
and each drink is an hourglass that only runs out
when I'm sucking down the sand
I'm just trying to pass the time
I'm just trying to make it go by
When all I really want to do
is rush straight back to you
but I don't want to come on too strong
just gotta play it cool
Yeah all I really want to do
is rush straight back to you
but I don't want to make it all too much
too much
too much too soon
was it too much too soon
was it too much too soon

All Coming Back
01:52

It's all coming back
there's no place like home
Even when it's just a dark house
abandoned and cold
where all I ever wanted was to be left alone
well it looks like I might finally get my wish
It's good to be back
it's been far too long
I remember the last time
when I brought you along
You said it's more like a museum than anyone's home
and maybe that's why I'm so cold
but it's all that I know
it's my only home
if it's cold then it's cold
if you need something more
to make you feel warm
hope you find it out there
I'm fine right here

Lost To You

Well I guess there's nothing left to say
we've not gone through
It all ends up getting lost anyway
lost and confused
We tried to make it work a million different ways
oh what's the use
Well I guess it doesn't matter anyway
I'm lost to you
I'm lost to you
Well I've been looking for a while now
for a way out
And I've been trying to find the words
to break your heart
But I guess this is how
we'll finally fade out
Holding it all inside
as we fall apart
How long can we look the other way
god knows I'm through
pretending everything will be ok
Who have we fooled
It's only gone on this long cause we've been afraid
afraid to move
But now I guess there's nothing left to say
I'm lost to you
I'm lost to you
Well I've been looking for a while now
for a way out
And I've been trying to find the words
to break your heart
But I guess this is how
we'll finally fade out
Broken up inside
as we fall apart
as we fall apart
as we fall apart

I Have My Reasons

the things I do to get by
I don't expect you to understand why
if it seems unnecessary to you
you don't know what it takes
I have my reasons
if I ever need them
the things I do to get by
I don't expect you to understand why
and if you think you're confused
just imagine how I must feel
I have my demons
and I have to feed them

Sunken Ships Los Angeles, California
From the unholy union between Morrissey, Johnny Cash, and Jeff Buckley, and gestated in the womb of eastside L.A., a band was born. Sprung from the mind of singer-songwriter Ray Argyle, and made flesh with a motley crew of thieves, ruffians, and beggars, Sunken Ships plays a darker shade of folk, a wistful indie rock with relatable hints of bitterness and hope. ... more
