On the surface I look happy and glad Truth be told you cannot see my scars This world is an ocean, as I look upon with a frown Mentally I feel like I am due to drown Overthinking it all surely I am due to sink I have had my ******* fill and I am really on the brink But **** that I am gonna have to swim and fight Just to keep my head above the water All that stand in my way I will have to slaughter I am swimming against the tide All that is keeping me going is my heart filled with pride All along you thought I was trying to prove you wrong You are all irrelevant but only for a line in my song The only reason I am ready to fight Is to prove to the world that I was always ******* right

Sink Or Swim
On the surface I look happy and glad Truth be told you cannot see my scars This world is an ocean, as I look upon with a frown Mentally I feel like I am due to drown Overthinking it all surely I am due to sink I have had my ******* fill and I am really on the brink But **** that I am gonna have to swim and fight Just to keep my head above the water All that stand in my way I will have to slaughter I am swimming against the tide All that is keeping me going is my heart filled with pride All along you thought I was trying to prove you wrong You are all irrelevant but only for a line in my song The only reason I am ready to fight Is to prove to the world that I was always ******* right
