Sink or Swim

Follow close now I don't wanna repeat
This is the story 'bout the way that I see
All the mountains I already conquered
Rising from the ground beneath my feet
It's a fuckin' metaphor there's not real boulders
Any time it's rocky I can feel it on my shoulders
Tense up, sweating, whish I had an Adrian
But my corner's empty

The waves are pushing back
Caught in the undertow
Fading away to black
Please don't let me go

Don't care what people say
Same shit a different day
I swear it's all the same
It's carrying me away
I'm drowning in a wake
Of all my past mistakes
I'm torn now limb from limb
It's time to break in
Now we sink or swim

Catching my breath only for a moment
My lungs fill as the current flows in
Digging deep doesn't matter in the end
'Cause when it's me versus myself I never win
Wake up bitch the voices inside
Are telling me a tale I still can't hide
The more I tread, the closer it gets
How come I can't live in peace for just a fuckin' little bit

The waves are pushing back
Caught in the undertow
Fading away to black
Please don't let me go

Don't care what people say
Same shit a different day
I swear it's all the same
It's carrying me away
I'm drowning in a wake
Of all my past mistakes
I'm torn now limb from limb
It's time to break in
Now we sink or swim

You can't tell me anything
I just have to sink or swim
I see what I did before
Now I have to hit the floor
Why can't I just operate and
Not be in a constant state
Of doubting all the insignificant
Things that will never change

Don't care what people say
Same shit a different day
I swear it's all the same
It's carrying me away
I'm drowning in a wake
Of all my past mistakes
I'm torn now limb from limb
It's time to break in
Now we sink or swim
