Текст песни: This Sinking Ship + перевод

I see myself in my father’s eyes

I see my strengths and my weaknesses

As children safe in our mothers arms

But photos can be misleading

Out on the branches of our family trees

That’s where the young ones are dwindling

So will we learn?

Fought together into the night

Can we have this home to survive?

We need the strength of our family’s arms

Not a false sense of solidarity

Walk together and we could work this out

Talk together and we could understand

We need the strength of our family’s arms

I wish I knew where to go from here

I see the sadness in all their eyes

I understand why this burdens them

It’s written on my grandfather’s arms

Indian ink tells a story there

Out on the branches of our family trees

That’s where the young ones are suffering

So when will we learn?

Fought together into the night

Can we have this home to survive?

We need the strength of our family’s arms

Not a false sense of solidarity

Walk together and we could work this out

Talk together and we could understand

We need the strength of our family’s arms

I wish I knew where to go from here

We weren’t meant to take this on but this can’t be here when we are gone

Given all we have now is to make this time that we have left last forever

All that we have left is to make this time last forever

Then we’ll have learned

Look into your son and forget what you’ve seen

Protect what you love and say what you mean

Before you send a sinking ship into the sea

Goddamn, I wish I knew when we started this
