lyrics

I'm poisoned, help me find the remedy
Falling too fast, can't always do what's best for me
Help me find my way back home

We'll I'm drowning, pull me up so I can breathe
Can't remember how I got lost in all this misery
Told you I would be alone

For a while I'll sit and watch the high tide
Rise over my mirrored sunglasses
I won't fight the urge to swim towards sunlight
Wishing you were here to witness this

You are bleeding
I'll do my best to amputate
Take a deep breath, think twice
I won't hesitate
Chill me to my skin and bones

We are starving
Thirsty to the brink of love
Fool me once, call me dear
That's what I've been dreaming of
Chip away my cornerstone

For a while I'll sit and watch the high tide
Rise over my mirrored sunglasses
I won't fight the urge to swim towards sunlight
Wishing you were here to witness this

Well you
You break me down
No I won't get up the next time
You push me to the ground
Oh, you bring me to my knees
The next time someone falls
It won't be me

No it won't be me
