Stay Afloat

If I’m not treading now
I’m choosing to go down
A sinking route
To escape I’m not proud
And giving up is getting old

We go from dipping toes
To submerged in no time
A crushing weight
As my wings deflate
The pressure builds and my lungs fold

No, don’t bring me back, to bury me 6 deep
Don’t bring me back, if it’s just as bleak
Just let me go, leave me alone

Now that I’ve made my peace, in this dark harsh sea
May these beautiful waves just rock me to sleep
Still, giving up is getting old

Seems I’ve played in the shallows forgot how to swim
Simply slip to grave I've been lying in
You never know the last breath before you go
(under, under)
Now I’m looking up, on my race to the floor
Light bending and breaking, with dreams of the shore
A little sun just once more

Now that I’ve made my peace, in this dark harsh sea
May these beautiful waves just rock me to sleep
Still, giving up is getting old
Now it’d be easier to just let go
Try'n shake that thought, ride the wave you know
'cause giving up is getting old

(Sinking alone, will drown in the storm)
But I’ll keep on wading
(One breath at a time, to just stem the tide)
So I’ll keep on waiting
To finally float home
(Rough seas make the sailor)
To finally float home, yea

I’ll use every last breath I have
To finally float home
(Rough seas make the sailor)
