lyrics

There's a dark cloud where my mind lives,
And it fogs up my perspective,
So it's hard to see as clearly,
As I used to. Please forgive me.
I was not always this way.
I don't know what sparked the change.
I hardly ever leave this place,
The floorboards creaking where I pace.

And the pixels dance across the screen.
And my blinking eyes take in this scene.

This apartment hasn't been clean,
Since February, 2018.
There are piles of dirty laundry,
In all the corners, and they taunt me.
I was not always this way.
I don't know what sparked the change.
I hardly ever leave this place,
The carpet thinning where I pace.

And the pixels dance across the screen.
And my blinking eyes take in this scene.

The black mage in the party,
Never casts a proper spell that I can count on,
In a pickle, and this doesn't work so well.
So I'll waste a little time, as I watch another week go by.
And I'm still alive, if you could call this living.

In the meantime, I wish he'd stop being so fickle.
I wish he'd cast Fire or Firaga and just scorch these icy beasts,
Or just stun them, or maybe use a Phoenix Down,
To revive our fallen friends and bring them back into the fight.

The black mage in the party,
Never casts a proper spell that I can count on,
In a pickle, and this doesn't work so well.
So I'll waste a little time, as I watch another week go by.
And I'm still alive, if you could call this living.
And I'm still alive, I guess.
The black mage just stands staring at the wall.
I should have brought the healer after all.

Like an old ghost ship rising from cursed waters, A Sunken Ship Irony emerges once again. We are soaked, old, and bruised, but we're still alive (if you could call this living).
