For years & years I fought myself
Breaking for air in a raging sea
That violently slashes me, drags me down
To a place so dark it will make you blind.

One day I found floating debris
And clung for dear life in the darkest sea.
I thought that moment that I was safe,
That piece of scrap was solid ground
But I ignored the fact that I was lost,
Still lost in the drubbing waves.

For years I've been floating on false pretenses,
Believe I am completely well
But my safe haven is withering away
And I'm struggling again against the thrashing waves.

I was never free, and now I'm back
In my deepest troubles and loudest yells
I'm drowning again and I'm tasting defeat
I'm not sure how much longer I can fight the sea
And soon I'm sure I'll succumb to the screams
But at least then I'll finally be free.
