The Kraken in Charge

Let me tell you I am tired
trying to keep this ship afloat
Im one hundred thousand miles
from everything I’ve ever known
but I’m sure there is a place
where the gravity will fit
where the weight wont crush my body
and I can finally admit
what I’ve become
but what the fuck have I become?
and I've been so (numb)
Belly up with my face down on the bar
I gave up all control and put the Kraken in charge
and it'll only get worse.
Dry lands not a myth
so I will take the wheel cause I am captain of this ship.
It's time to get a fuckin' grip.
The beast is living in my quarters
and im taking all its orders
but with every misdirection,
my fuze is getting shorter.
He's always screaming in my ear
and fucking with my head
Always trying to convince me
That the people in the world
would like me dead.
And Ive been hanging by a thread.
Belly up with my face down on the bar
I gave up all control and put the Kraken in charge
and it'll only get worse.
Dry lands not a myth
so I will take the wheel cause I am captain of this ship.
It's time to get a fuckin' grip.

I'll help you book a conference room
I'll help you sync your contacts with your iPhone
while you scream at me.
I'll keep the WiFi running smooth
and I'll keep smiling when you tell me we're in a hiring freeze.
This is not what I had pictured for myself.
I'll update my resume
and ask for references from the people I've done business with before.
Share my profile on Linkedin
and try to meet my soft goals so they will pay me more.
This is not what I had pictured for myself.
Dont quit your day job.
I don't need to be known.
I just want to be worth knowing.
Just punch in and punch out.

What we say now's irrelevant
we both know what happened here.
You always said I was irreverent.
Let's get it straight, get one thing clear:
Those twenty dollar words won't cover up your curse.
And I never thought I'd be the boy you'd one day seek to destroy.
and I never thought I'd see the day you'd steal the rug right under me.
You're escape was inelegant
So quiet and oh so still.
With my inferior intelligence,
you couldn't wait, went in for the kill.
And what only makes this worse is that I let you make this hurt.

an 18 minute window, viable embryos
been up all night debugging, 2 million lines of code
I’ll meet you at the east dock, no one will ever know
Give me a million dollars and I’ll be on that boat.
We run on minimal staff for up to 3 days
you think that shit is easy for the wage you pay?
you say you don’t have time for another cash debate
I’m taking systems down, don’t bother placing blame.
Oh, no no
I need more time.
Fetch the fucking stick
No wonder you all died
You didn't say the magic word.
Your lives were in the hands of engineers
And we had butterfingers
It's a Unix system I know this.
