Crazy as I may

Make my way through this world, oh

It's for no one but me to say

What direction I should turn in now



'Cause I am the captain of this ship

Wanting eyes and kissing lips

The same as it was

And will remain until I'm done

And gone



Strange, but it seems

There's a mutiny brewing inside of me now

I don't want your pity

Just the promise that I'll be alright



'Cause I am the captain of this ship

Curious hands and fingertips

The same as it was

And will be until I'm gone



Oh, I know I'm a dreamer

Still think it's strange

I won't be long for here

Oh, I know that I feel, oh

Wait and go again

Again...



Oh, look, I'm buried

Like a cancer eating away inside of me

I don't want your pity

Only the promise that I'll be okay now



But I am the captain of this ship

Curious hands and fingertips

The same as it was before here

Here, back

After all



Why should I be hypnotized

By the promise of a long life?

Why should I hold hope

In tiny, tiny dribbles that glide by?

Why should I lean everything upon...

I won't be here long...



Oh, I know I'm a dreamer

Still seems a truth

I won't be long for here

Oh, it's so, but I think I lay this

On now your lips

I'm drowning



I am the Captain of...

Oh...

But, I'll be okay after all.
