No Appetite

It's cold//a light snow//balding tires meet icy roads//let's use new names tonight//let's have a different life//a deep thirst no appetite//stop wait a minute I don't think I need them//I've got no feelings at all//stop wait a minute I think that I'm losing it//there is not control//balding tires meet icy roads//congratulations we made it//we no longer have to fake it//a deep cold within your bones//blading tires meet icy roads//stop wait a minute I don't think I need them//I've got no feelings at all//stop wait a minute I think that I'm losing it//there is not control//balding tires meet icy roads//speak low//we're almost home//speak low

Emergency Room

This guy is driving too close behind me//I'm speeding down these backroads just over 60//I've got my high beams on I cant see much of anything//this guy is driving too close me//I'll think to myself this car has never let me down//I'll hum along to the sirens as I lay on the ground//will I come to in an emergency room//filled with doctors and nurses with nothing left to do//will I come to in an emergency room//with nothing left to do//I've taken these roads at least a million times//but balding tires meet black ice//will I come to in an emergency room//with doctors and nurses with nothing left to do//will I come to in an emergency room//with nothing left to do//

Bridge

They move so slow//with teeth bared and fangs to show//in the hospital all alone//I'm all alone//back then I called them friends//now just acquaintances//we don't speak for months on end//I can't remember when I burned the bridge//Im no longer surrounded//maybe I was the one//that smelt danger and was the first to run//i'm not there for anyone//not there for anyone//I remember my last cigarette//staring at my hands over all of it//New Year's Eve in Kentucky sitting on some stairs//I'm completely aware//that I burned the bridge I'm no longer surrounded//When I speak to you it's just clicks and hisses//awkward movements and these nervous misses//but you're the only one that ever visits//this little nurse of mine//from inaudible tones//to these painful moans//yes now I know//now i know//I won't burn this bride//no not again//

Sinking Stone

Nice to meet you can we start again//I'm not the best at introductions//I can't stop talking about my dog or my clicking jaw//You see I stand alone//I am a sinking stone//you're the only thing I need anymore//I want you to hold me//I need your arms around me//I know that you'll make me a better man//as they talk to me about my scans//I hold tight my first love in my hands//it was my Iron Maiden CD//it was Best of the Beast//coca powder in the barium//they tried to fool me//I want you to hold me//I need your arms around me//I know that you'll make me a better man//now how do you feel//how's your chest//on a scale from 1-10 maybe a 6 at best//you see I stand alone//I am a sinking stone//you're the only thing I need anymore//I want you to hold me//I need your arms around me//I know that you'll make me a better man//

Teething

You came and left and I sighed//You said I'll be home soon its just a matter of time//but I need your love and I need the hum of machines//so I breathe deep and dream of you and me//I'll miss you//please don't go//what will i do without you my love//the t.v. on with no sound no one's around//I'll clench my fingers into a fist and squeeze this love that I found//I'll hum myself to sleep with songs I love//I'll form pictures of you in the wall and ceiling above//I'll miss you//please don't go//what will i do without you my love//I want you bad//it's true I can't relax//I'm stuck on every word you say//I'll analyze the mistakes that I've made//I'll miss you//please don't go//what will i do without you my love//trapped against the wall and ready for my beating//I can't sleep it feels like i'm teething//please don't say those words to me//say it ain't so//please don't go//don't go//

Steady Ache

Well I stared death into his eyes//He looked at me and he sighed//he said it's no fun when you feel this low//and now I'm home all alone//I guess most nights I feel alright//it's a steady ache that won't go away//I'll take a shower now//I'll let the room fill with steam//then I start to breathe//I'll start to dream//I'll trace pictures in the mirror until I can see//visions of you in love with me//a steady ache that won't go away//no longer how much I pray//I guess most nights I feel alright//it's a steady ache that won't go away//

Heavy Eyes
03:00

|
In my dreams no one speaks//I'm not speeding down these backroads just over 60//In my dreams it's just you and me//we sleep all day and wake up with our heads on straight//with heavy eyes I made it to the highway//slick roads I'm moving sideways//In my dreams these tires never screeched//and old rusty frames never slammed into old sturdy trees//visions of you saying focus on your breath//heavy eyes i'm close to death//death comes for me on the highway//slick roads i'm moving sideways//in my dreams no one speaks//in my dreams it's just you and me//it my dreams this bottle's not half empty//visions of you in love with me//

I'm this broken thing//I can't stand the sight of me//I'm this broken thing//visions of you kneeling next to me//and you say don't weep//you say don't cry for me//on the ground drunk and freezing//you're listing all the reasons you're leaving//what did I expect//there's no trust love or respect//you say don't weep//you say don't cry for me//but all that I can think about as I watch you go//of course today had to rain//I'm this broken thing//slick roads on the highway//I can't relax//because I know that this wont pass//and you say don't weep//you say don't cry for me//on the ground drunk and freezing//you're listing all the reasons you're leaving//what did I expect//there's no trust love or respect//you say don't weep//you say don't cry for me//but all that I can think about as I watch you go//of course today had to rain//i'm this broken thing//i can't stand the sight of me//i'm this broken thing//visions of you kneeling next to me//and the last thing that I will say//I burned the bridge//I'm no longer surrounded//I burned the bridge//

Got me through some of my darkest times along with The Future is Cancelled. Currently listening to it while my arms are all bandaged up lmao. One of the most important records of all time for me.

The Future Is Cancelled
by Captain, We're Sinking
supported by 22 fans who also own “Steady Ache”
A perfect punk album. What always amazes me is that it's littered with melodies and lyrics good enough on their own to build an entire song around, but Captain We're Sinking has so many great ideas, they don't need to stretch any single one beyond its welcome. This will have you coming back over and over again.
