sink or swim
took a dive and hit the deep end again
oh, where did it all go wrong?
(where did it all go wrong?)
it’s hard to pinpoint, or start,
i caused so many problems
(i feel so hollow)
all i know is destruction is my adrenaline
and
i don’t want the high to ever end.
i don’t want to feel.
i don’t want to heal.
so give me the fix, and let’s pretend,
because all i’ve got is sink or swim,
survive, and hold on,
because this wire has frayed,
split apart
and took a nosedive
headfirst into the heart.
oh, where did it all go wrong?
i took a chance, now star-crossed
the fire in me, once strong,
sways and flickers,
before going dark.
oh, where did it all go wrong?
the wires are crossed,
the messages aren’t clear
and
habits die hard.
the question is whether i can quit this
or will i dive headfirst
into my own sins?
clouded by judgment, lost within,
can’t say i didn’t give my all.
i just find it easier
just to give in.
