[Verse 1]

Am I the only one that saw the sun burn out?

The locusts keep their rhythm, my watch is broken down

I wake up and take on water, sink to the peak of despair

What I need is a cigarette, no more prayers

[Bridge]

The planets unaligned

We are saints without a shrine

[Refrain]

A storm comes and the city's abandoned

The ship is going down with the captain, oh, oh

A storm comes and the city's abandoned

The ship is going down with the captain, oh, oh

I am the man that sank Atlantis, I am the man that sank Atlantis

I am the man that sank Atlantis

The bottom is not the lowest we get

[Verse 2]

Further down still the dark's absolute and further down than that it's only me and you

I assure you that hell is not a myth, we both vacation there

Hell is not a myth, we spend each winter there no one can prepare

[Refrain]

A storm comes and the city's abandoned

The ship is going down with the captain, oh, oh

A storm comes and the city's abandoned

The ship is going down with the captain, oh, oh

I am the man that sank Atlantis, I am the man that sank Atlantis

I am the man that sank Atlantis

The bottom is not the lowest we get

I thought I knew the best part of the secret

I thought I knew the best part of the secret

I thought I knew the best part of the secret

The truth is the thing we forget

[Verse 3]

The glory I had witnessed was just a sleight of hand

These hearts cannot be salvaged, these bones cannot withstand

I have either been forgotten or I was never seen

Now I'm in the negative space between

[Chorus]

I've weighed down the earth through the stars to the pavement

I've weighed down the earth, no use trying to save it

I've weighed down the earth through the stars to the pavement

I've weighed down the earth, not sure I can take it

[Post-Chorus]

I've fallen out of frame, a strangled, distant flame

Clenched in the jaws of anguish are only godless men

Chaos is drawn to silence like life is drawn to death

The dusk is so much clearer than the dawn had ever been

I'm a ghost, I'm a ghost and yet

[Outro]

I've weighed down the earth through the stars to the pavement

I've weighed down the earth, no use trying to save it

I've weighed down the earth through the stars to the pavement

I've weighed down the earth, no use trying to save it
