{Verse 1]
Help it happened again
A shining spectre comes to haunt me every now and then
I tried to talk to him instead
But it always ends up with me dying while the moon turns red
Then I wake up
And there's no blood
Just me and my
Alarm that went off again
I ain't got time
To think 'bout why
My nightlife
Keeps on fucking my brain
[Chorus]
Help me! No, drown me!
Oh I just can't decide
Am I truly holding the reins of my mind?
Here in this deep endless river I'm just a castaway
But If I could change it
I'd keep living this way
[Verse 2]
Something dripping on me
But thеre are no clouds in the sky as far as I can see
Is this thе right way to live
I'm holding on to someone I am getting tired to be
This routine might
Keep me alive
But is it right
To pretend I'm ok?
I ain't got time
To think 'bout why
My nightlife
Keeps on fucking my brain
[Chorus]
Help me! No, drown me!
Oh I just can't decide
Am I truly holding the reins of my mind?
Here in this deep endless river I'm just a castaway
But If I could change it
I'd keep living this way
[Chorus]
Help me! No, drown me!
Oh I just can't decide
Am I truly holding the reins of my mind?
Here in this deep endless river I'm just a castaway
But If I could change it
I'd keep living this way
[Chorus]
Help me! No, drown me!
Oh I just can't decide
Am I truly holding the reins of my mind?
You think a shore will wait for you
At the end of this whole trip
But you'll end up staying afloat in the boundless sea
