Petals In The Grass

A Dereliction Of Duty

A dereliction of duty
My mutiny is at hand
Throw me overboard
Far from land

My failure at being human
I deserve nothing less
Toxic decisions I have made
I must confess

I am very lost
Been blown off course
Show no mercy
Show no remorse

Let the salt water fill my lungs
Let the fish make a meal out of me
Do it now
Listen to my plea

No preserver is needed
As I abandon ship
May hypothermia set in
When I take my dip

Make me walk the plank
Is my final command
A dereliction of duty
My mutiny is at hand
