Deeper Water

The world is an ocean to me
I'm sinking below out at sea
Got no job or a paycheck, they're breathing down my neck
I'm used to sweat on my brow

Well time is a race that won't end
Not a second to spare for a friend
Marketplace chatter is what seems to matter
In a world full of plastic charades

You told me to keep my head up through the winter
You told me that the ice would melt away

I try every day, every night
Still I get dragged down to deeper water
I can't breath help me swim to shore
Please pull me back up to the light

Well nobody here knows my name
Don't know all of the rules to the this game
Need to find my direction, fix my imperfections
I sure hope I'm doing this right

All you people make it look so easy
Where's that one last puzzle piece I've missed?

I try every day, every night
Still I get dragged down to deeper water
I can't breath help me swim to shore
Please pull me back up to the light

Sticks and stones may break my bones
But I've got thicker skin
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But I've got thicker skin
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But I've got thicker skin
Sticks and stones

I try every day, every night
Still, I get dragged down by deeper water
I can't breath help me swim to shore
Please pull me back up to the light
Please pull me back up to the light
I'm not gonna give up the fight
No, I'm not gonna give up the fight
