Sinking Ship

SINKLP01
This song is a fusion of country music and hip-hop, yesiree. I went for that old timey country music feel, although it'd sound more old timey if it had banjos and fiddles in it. It's got references to Linkin Park's song, "Shadow of the Day," which is a song about a person who's lost hope and is looking forward to death. This song kinda riffs on that theme of hopelessness.

I 'sperimented with rapping a set of lyrics in one place and singing them in another place, in that old-timey country music style. Like, you get to hear two different takes on the same set of lyrics, yesiree. Timmy and Bobby cain't decide whether to listen to Willie Nelson or Linkin Park.

The lyrics are:

I am a sinking ship and I’m drinking

Fire that is shrinking all my thinking

Sad and dark my flame is a singing

Band, it’s a Park, whose name is Linkin

End Of The Day, they call it a Shadow

It’s on my way, and I’ll follow in a sad glow

There’s no more waiting, gotta get me gone

My ship is sailing to the big dawn

SAME AS ABOVE, EXCEPT FOR THE 3^rd LINE:

Sad, in the dark, my flame is a singing

In the breaking dawn, there is no more

But an aching song and a closing door

In the fading light, we’re going down

Like a failing kite, that’s run aground

A sinking ship is what I am

I’m thinking this will make me damned

Timmy and Bobby they are getting worried

They see me sobbing; my eyes are blurry
