Sinking - Dream Orchestra

Every night Think of things I can't do or haven't done And does it make me weak? Sometimes I feel like I can't breathe Is it all you see in me? Don't you wait for something more I'll still be sinking to the floor Oh, you can't help me Now I'm all alone Is it my doing? Is it my doing? Outside is getting colder Why does it feel like I'm older than I asked to be? But when you say my name It all falls away so tenderly Don't you wait for something more I'll still be sinking to the floor Oh, you tried to help me Why do I feel so cold? Is it my doing? Is it my doing? Is it my doing? Is it my doing? Is it my doing? Oh Hmm, is it my doing? Hmm

You were the flame, but you burned out easily Yeah and you see the light through the dark But you can't quite see through to me And every word that you waste, every breath that you faked Hope they're keeping you up at night And I'm dying to let you go now Let you go You're the shore, I'm the tidal wave I'm the reason you're coming up for air Holding on to a memory You can blame it on wishful sinking You can blame it on wishful sinking I'd try to save you But what were you thinking? So just breathe slow, caught in the undertow And I'm fighting the current Holding my ground if you can't let go The pressure will hold you down Remember when you said until the end I swear I'll never feel the same again You're the shore, I'm the tidal wave I'm the reason you're coming up for air Holding on to a memory You can blame it on wishful sinking You can blame it on wishful sinking I'd try to save you But what were you thinking? I'd try to save you But what were you thinking? Every word that you waste Every breath that you faked Hope they're keeping you up at night And I'm dying to let you know now Dying to let you know They're coming for you Let you know You're the shore, I'm the tidal wave I'm the reason you're coming up for air Holding on to a memory You can blame it on wishful sinking You can blame it on wishful sinking I'd try to save you (I'd try to save you) I'd try to save you But what were you thinking?

I wonder, can you hear me? Cause I am barely breathing Don't know the ground beneath me I fear my heart is sinking I fear my heart is sinking I fear my heart is sinking Don't know the ground beneath me I fear my heart is sinking Never thought that you would be phony Why you wanna say that you know me Life is like a movie that won't stop Even when we're taking our clothes off I'm taking off homebound You're calling this home now I'm calling it misery You say that you'll miss me Whatever I should hear Tell it to me straight, dear God, I'll be so peaceful I'm just being me so (I wonder) I wonder, can you hear me? Cause I am barely breathing Don't know the ground beneath me I fear my heart is sinking I fear my heart is sinking I fear my heart is sinking Don't know the ground beneath me I fear my heart is sinking Girl I been with it I been with you all the way From the beach to the city I been putting on a face You're no stranger to a mask You ain't lost or amazed I been lost in a maze Been a long damn day (I been lost in a maze Been a long damn day I been lost in a maze Been a long damn day) I wonder, can you hear me? Cause I am barely breathing Don't know the ground beneath me I fear my heart is sinking I fear my heart is sinking I fear my heart is sinking Don't know the ground beneath me I fear my heart is sinking I got fire in my eyes Water in my bones Air inside my head Carrying me home Fire in my eyes Water in my bones Air inside my head Carrying me home Fire in my eyes Water in my bones Air inside my head Carrying me home Fire in my eyes Water in my bones Air inside my head Carrying me home

Uh, so close to the water, so close to sinking You been on your own lately too, so what you thinking? Got a lot on my mind, so it's hard to think what I'm thinking, yeah I guess we'll stop, but what's the reason? I got my own problems, dealing with this nagging - F- these nagging, and this nagging - She don't know she over-payed, and how she raised don't make it better Tryna think that I can change, and now we storming through the weather Feeling unappreciated, and just looking for a "thanks" All she do is irk my nerves, look at me side-ways, make complaints And I know deep in her mind she got a love, but got a hate That's the reason we come back and get so close, then run away On the other hand, I know you must forgive to get to Heaven But it's hard to love my daddy after leaving at 11 Truth be told, I'm just not ready, that's why I ain't get my blessings And I truly understand, so God, I hope you get this message Only looking for peace, crying myself to sleep How a - so shallow but the water get so deep? Could remember 2016 it was only at my feet Fast-forward to now and it done gotten past my knees So close to the water, so close to sinking You been on your own lately too, so what you thinking? Got a lot on my mind, so it's hard to think what I'm thinking, yeah I guess we'll stop, but what's the reason? I got my own problems, dealing with this nagging - F- these nagging, and this nagging - She don't know she over-payed, and how she raised don't make it better Tryna think that I can change, and now we storming through the weather
