down with the ship
it could have been helped
it might have been saved
with me at the helm
i could have found ways
to keep it afloat
and find a new course
but i steered the ship
right into the cliffs
the easy way out
a cowardly move
a short sighted plan
made by a self centered man
the crew stayed with the ship
and bailed as one
they didn't know
irreparable damage was done
they had so much pride
and camaraderie
but that was all lost
when they spotted me
rowing to shore
with treasure on board
a cowardly plan
made by a self loathing man
without regrets
without looking back
i choose to walk
on the less beaten (socio)path
with all the spoils
of an island of one
i don't need dynasty
i don't need anyone
i knew the consequence
when i plotted this trip
i'm not a man
who'll go down with the ship
