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
Same as it was, and will remain until I'm done and gone

Strange, but it seems, there's mutiny brewing inside of me now
I don't want your pity, just the promise that I'll be alright... Oh

Cause I am the captain of this ship, curious hands and fingertips
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... Oh
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
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...
