I feel the tide rise behind my eyes
Pressure like a storm I can't outrun
Whispers in the static of my mind
Leaking seams where the battle's just begun
The walls are closing in my thoughts unwind
A fragile line between awake and blind
Hold on-don't let me fade
Drowning in a flood my body made
Every breath's a fight a thread to cling
As the faultline cracks beneath my skin
The rhythm of my pulse is out of sync
Shadows stretch and twist against the light
A needle's worth of hope begins to sink
While the horizon slips from sight
The signal's faint but I'm still here
A drowning heartbeats' cry loud and clear
Hold on-don't let me fade
Drowning in a flood my body made
Every breath's a fight a thread to cling
As the faultline cracks beneath my skin
Is there a cure to heal the storm inside?
Or will this current take me in its tide?
I'm screaming but my voice is out of reach
A sailor swept too far from the beach
(Save me save me!) I can't hold the line
(Help me help me!) I'm running out of time
Hold on-don't let me fade
Drowning in a flood my body made
Every breath's a fight a thread to cling
As the faultline cracks beneath my skin
I'm weightless now afloat in a dream
Carried on a river calm yet obscene
Though my body falters my soul will ascend
A story that fights until the very end
