Sink

That's a long way down
Please don't yell
I've been dead for a while
Can't you tell?
If I jump, could you lie
And say that I fell?
I can't handle what
I did to myself
I wanna sink, I wanna drown
Into this sound.

And the waves crash while a breeze blows
with water so cold, it'll crack your soul
When I jump before I sink
Face to face with these memories
That never left me to breathe (Will they ever let me breathe?)
I wanna fall through the ocean
And hit the floor
Will I even feel the impact?
How it moves through my cracks

Lying dormant underwater so long
I'm rotting away
Pieces ripped off of me
I'll never see again
Phantoms of the water leading me
To my grave
Through the trash and the shadows
Whispers speak of my last dance
And my chest grows heavy because
I think I went the wrong way
When I emerge what if I don't wake again?
Did I ruin my one chance?

(I don't know, I don't know)
(I don't know, I don't know)
(I don't know, I don't know)
(I don't know, I don't know)
I don't how I turned into this lie
But I know I have a chance to be alive
If I would, just let myself try (Just give me one try)
And I wanna cave into all the dark thoughts
That fill my mind, that cloud my sight but
If I did, I wouldn't be saying you can get through this

Cause I only sink when I don't believe
And I'd rather drown than you take my faith from me
I'll carve it into my psyche
These seven words on repeat
I only sink when I don't believe

The fear of emerging won't stop me from
Trying again
I may feel broken, like someone clipped my wings
but on the ground I'll stand
Taller than I ever have
Taking back my life path
They tried to talk down from my head
And I'll never stop
Not even when I'm dead
