	Story Behind the Song The song was originally written from a concept of several different prayers. Now, it’s a personal stand in my struggle with depression. Depression has been a constant battle in my life since childhood. A very difficult battle. Depression destroys one’s ability to make rational, sound decisions. It destroys friendships, family ties, self esteem,...your heart. It feeds upon itself, snowballing until it reeks havoc in every aspect of your life. I really believe, after all I’ve been through, that its not all bad. Facing depression has enhanced all of the art in my life. I see things in a whole new light and I’ve discovered emotions most don’t know exist. I’ve drawn from those emotions when writing and have used them as tools in trying to understand people. Depression has been just as giving as it has a thief. Sinking Ship represents prayers at times when life in general was hard to get through. I can’t help but remember those times. Sometimes, I’d rather forget. Lyrics Sinking Ship Give me life, give me soul give me the happiness I wish I’d known dream for me, I fear I can’t gimme the strength, to be my I own man chorus I ain’t afraid, to die or live, wasting my time, on a sinking ship Give me the gun, give me the knife give me the tools, to end my own life breath for me, cuz’ I wish I can’t gimme the knowledge, so I understand chorus I don’t want to live, I don’t want to die, on a sinking ship, I stand and cry Give me God, give me fate please sweet Jesus, take away my pain I ain’t a man. who breaths alone give me the happiness, that I wish I’d know chorus - (ain’t afraid to die or live...) Give me love, give me soul give me some happiness, so I could know and dream for me, cuz’ I wish I can give me the life, of a normal man chorus - (ain’t afraid to die or live....)
