the rain came down in buckets
|
submerging good and bad alike
|
waist deep in water you start grabbing at things
|
that you think won't drift or sink down in the flood
|
did I drag you down?
|
with my flesh and bone turned into stone
|
|
unable to stand now
|
even though the tide has turned away
|
away, to insist to keeping me under
|
|
it's coming, it's quiet, after
|
but now you're nowhere to be found
|
the greatest tragedy can come from all of this
|
now we know
|
sometimes you're better off alone
|
did I drag you down?
|
when my flesh and bone turned into stone
|
|
unable to stand now
|
even though tide has turned away
|
away to insist to keeping me under
|
unable to breathe now
|
cause I know I pushed you away
|
when you were just trying to keep me from drowning
|
|
I know we practice treading water
|
but this time I took you way to deep
|
and I left a mile to the bottom
|
and your feet just couldn't reach,
|
your feet just couldn't reach
|
|
unable to stand now
|
even though the tide has turned away
|
away to insist of keeping me under
|
unable to breathe now cause I know I pushed you away
|
you were just trying keep me from drowning
|
