Treading Water

[Verse 1]
Just give me something to believe in
Something I can sink my teeth into
Looking for a deeper meaning
Been sitting on my hand so damn long
I've lost all feeling, I'm kinda reckless
Give me a reason to keep on breathing
You know that I need it

[Pre-Chorus]
How can I get this message to you?
Just tell me what I need to do

[Chorus]
Lost in the shadows again, we're just children of men
Can I stay afloat when the world wants me to drown (drown)?
I'll take the mask off my face, all my fears on display
Can I stay afloat when the world wants me to drown (drown)?

[Verse 2]
Tryna fight off all my demons
It's why this world's got me feeling some kind of way
Such a wonder I'm still breathing
Tryna bite my tongue and find my place
And where there's smoke there is fire, beneath the surface
Show me a liar and I'll show you nervous

[Pre-Chorus]
How can I get this message to you?
Just tell me what I need to do

[Chorus]
Lost in the shadows again, we're just children of men
Can I stay afloat when the world wants me to drown (drown)?
I'll take the mask off my face, all my fears on display
Can I stay afloat when the world wants me to drown (drown)?

(World wants me to drown)
(World wants me to drown)

[Bridge]
When the tide goes on
It washes all my pain away
(My pain away)
When the tide goes on
It washes all my pain away

[Chorus]
Lost in the shadows again, we're just children of men
Can I stay afloat when the world wants me to drown (drown)?
I'll take the mask off my face, all my fears on display
Can I stay afloat when the world wants me to drown (to drown)?

[Outro]
I’m treading water
I’m treading water
I’m treading water
And the world wants me to drown
