35 Down

Well, I'm thirty-five down
And I don't know
When this is gonna end
Comin' closer and closer to the bend
Full speed ahead now, my back is to the wind

Yeah, I'm flying past them
But I bet that they don't know it's a race
Even still I can't take second place
Those thoughts can fuck off
I gotta keep the pace
If I ever hope to overcome this

Just turned twenty-five now
And I don't know how much I can take
Are the feelings that I carry a mistake?
Emotions well up and drown me all the same
If I'm submerged, can I escape the flames?

But how do I know
If I'll resurface?
All of my baggage drags me down
I'll sink to the depths
Of my own ocean
Where my screams, they don't make a sound

I stay awake until the first glimmer of sun hits the horizon
(Pull me under)
No one to talk to, only my own thoughts to live with
(Pull me under)

My world's caving in
Without a purpose
All my momentum, just to crash and burn
Tell me, what can I do
To abandon these burdens?
What else do I have to, what else do I have to learn?

What else do I have to, what else do I have to learn?

I feel... I feel
Free
