Down with the Ship

It could have been helped, it might have been saved
 With me at the helm, I could have found ways
 To keep it afloat and find a new course
 But I steered the ship right into the cliffs
 The easy way out, a cowardly move
 A short sighted plan made by a self-centered man
 The crew stayed with the ship and bailed as one
 They didn't know irreparable damage was done
 They had so much pride and camaraderie
 But that was all lost when they spotted me
 Rowing to shore with treasure on board
 A cowardly plan made by a self loathing man
 Without regrets, without looking back
 I choose to walk on the less beaten sociopath
 With all the spoils of an island of one
 I don't need dynasty, I don't need anyone
 I knew the consequence when I plotted this trip
 I'm not a man who'll go down with the ship
