Verse
Swore that I’d get better
Lied through my teeth
I’m faking smiles more than ever
So no one will see
Feels like I’m treading water
Pulled underneath
Can’t keep my head above much longer
If I let it control me
Chorus
You dictate all my fears
I try to push you away
I wish you’d disappear
But you keep weighing me down
Feels like I’m sinking
Now I’m sinking
Feels like I’m sinking
Now I’m sinking
Verse
Underneath the surface
Push it all down
And tell myself it isn’t worth it
If I say it out loud
I made a promise I can’t keep
Now the thought is haunting me
Cant stand the thought of letting anyone else in
Chorus
You dictate all my fears
I try to push you away
I wish you’d disappear
But you keep weighing me down
Feels like I’m sinking
Now I’m sinking
Feels like I’m sinking
Now I’m sinking
Bridge
Whoa
Caught up in apathy
Whoa
Caving in under pressure
Whoa
You got a hold of me
Chorus
You dictate all my fears
I try to push you away
I wish you’d disappear
But you keep weighing me down
Feels like I’m sinking
Now I’m sinking
Feels like I’m sinking
Now I’m sinking
Outro
Whoa
Feels like I’m sinking
Whoa
Now I’m sinking
Whoa
Feels like I’m sinking

Verse
I know your past still haunts you
Your world came crashing down
And every night you fight
to feel something
Pre-Chorus
It’s easier to give in
I know you’re bent not broken
but you can’t see through tired eyes
Chorus
Thoughts are racing
Losing traction
Tired of waiting
For something more
Verse
Living in isolation
Cutting your ties one by one
Spinning out of control you come undone
Reality won’t set in
You try to push through the lies
Cant keep yourself from falling
Through the cracks
Pre-Chorus
It’s easier to give in
I know you’re bent not broken
but you can’t see through tired eyes
Chorus
Thoughts are racing
Losing traction
Tired of waiting
For something more
(Solo)
Chorus X2
Thoughts are racing
Losing traction
Tired of waiting
For something more
Hesitating
No direction
Tired of waiting
For something more
Outro X2
It’s easier to give in
I know you’re bent not broken
but you can’t see through tired eyes
Chorus (Under second half of outro)
Thoughts are racing
Losing traction
Tired of waiting
For something more

Verse
Light can’t break through all the doubt
Clouding my mind all of the time
overcast with no way out
Caught up inside
The dark
Pre-chorus
All the walls are shaking
And the structure’s breaking
no stability in this routine
My foundation’s falling
And I’m sick of stalling
no room to breathe
Chorus
Feels like i’m in a nightmare
Watch my dreams slowly fading
Stuck in a new reality
Losing what’s left of me
Verse
your convictions stray from mine
No giving up I’ve had enough
Forcing me to compromise
Falling in line
Again
Pre-chorus
All the walls are shaking
And the structure’s breaking
no stability in this routine
My foundation’s falling
And I’m sick of stalling
No room to breathe
Chorus
Feels like i’m in a nightmare
Watch my dreams slowly fading
Stuck in a new reality
Losing what’s left of me
Bridge
No stability
No room to breathe
Watch my dreams slowly fade
Chorus X2
Feels like i’m in a nightmare
Watch my dreams slowly fading
Stuck in a new reality
Losing what’s left of me

Verse
Growing tired of this stop and go
Sitting in your pity doesn’t change a thing
You’re never listening
Pre-Chorus
Shifting tides
You’re back and forth
You never tried
You’re falling short
of every line
I’m moving on
Cause i’m sick of only temporary
Chorus
Water’s rising
And i can’t get out
No escaping
As you watch me drown
Verse
You can keep your broken promises
I don’t need them it's a liability
Your sorry’s lost on me
Pre-Chorus
shifting tides
You’re back and forth
You never tried
You’re falling short
of every line
I’m moving on
Cause i’m sick of only temporary
Chorus
Water’s rising
And i can’t get out
No escaping
As you watch me drown
No one’s selfless
you’re living proof
Turned your back when i needed you
Water’s rising
And i can’t get out
Bridge
Water’s rising
And i can’t get out
Water’s rising
And i can’t get out
Chorus
Water’s rising
And i can’t get out
No escaping
As you watch me drown
No one’s selfless
you’re living proof
Turned your back when i needed you
Water’s rising
And i can’t get out

Verse
Spent two long years watching you fade
Stuck inside my head
overplaying memories
Still full of regret
Caught up in my selfish ways
A sequence of events
Change of season’s got me feeling like there’s nothing i can fix
Pre-Chorus
So many things were left unsaid
I was too young to understand
Chorus
Expecting never made it easier
To watch you fall
I knew that I would never be the same
When you left
All that’s left are memories
I confuse them with my dreams
Expecting never made it easier
To watch you fall
Verse
Thought that you got better
They were buying you more time
Dealing with the waves of guilt
In the room you left behind
Left picking up the pieces of
Our broken family
Burning all the branches down
Before they fall on me
Pre-Chorus
So many things were left unsaid
I was too young to understand
Chorus
Expecting never made it easier
To watch you fall
I knew that I would never be the same
When you left
All that’s left are memories
I confuse them with my dreams
Expecting never made it easier
To watch you fall
Bridge
“When do I get to come home?”
You were always so hopeful
Outro
I can’t watch you leave, I want you here with me
Time is obsolete and you are growing weak x2
(All that’s left are memories
I confuse them with my dreams
Expecting never made it easier
To watch you fall)
