3 hours 14 minutes

Harry

I’m sinking

I’m sinking and I don’t know how stop

lower and lower

Did you know the RMS titanic took only 3 hours to sink

I’ve been sinking a lot longer than that

My happiness is clinging on like a passenger

One who was promised a simple voyage

 

This passenger has accepted his fate

You can see it on his face

The hope that used to live behind his eyes has packed its bags and moved out

The bags are full of dreams for the prospects, and memories

They’re gone now

 

Yet this passenger clings onto the ship

As it sinks

Lower and lower

    The Titanic was RMS Titanic not HMS. HMS signifies a ship of the U.K. military. RMS denotes the ship carries Royal Mail.
