The waters rise up to bite me
fighting with sink or swim
complacent and feeling heavy
but still my eyes don't go dim
the current pulls me down
but I'm not ready to drown
I'll swim until the end
will you be my only friend

The moon breaks on a pale face
tired of fighting, he longs for the dust
he so sick of his heartache
he misses his life and having someone to trust
by his side, shining a light
keeping the night at bay
but at night the waves climb higher
drown out his lighter
but you can always hear him say

The waters rise up to bite me
fighting with sink or swim
complacent and feeling heavy
But still my eyes don't go dim
the current pulls me down
but I'm not ready to drown
I'll swim until the end
will you be my only friend

Feelin pulled down by the weight of the world
out of his control so he waits on the world
Fighting for his life just to shake up the world
make it home to his girl
the water starts swirling
if I make it home tonight
imma hit my knees till the morning light
I need something I can't provide
only his hand can save my life
won't give up but my arms are getting tired
feelin numb will you take my pain away
losing trust in everything around me
will the sea become my early grave
he prays he'll make it out
while the tides pulling him down
he swims on without a sound
but his song echoes around

The waters rise up to bite me
fighting with sink or swim
complacent and feeling heavy
but still my eyes don't go dim
the current pulls me down
but I'm not ready to drown
I'll swim until the end
will you be my only friend
