Sink or Swim

i turned away from you

you never knew – and its dangerous to perceive

i walk the streets that i knew

sitting silent – and im begging for repreive

im drowning in you. your words have weight for me

and im drowning in the deep

been drifting in love – lets sail infinitely

navigate the open sea

there was a time i lived for you

i knew the burden, and now im shouldering the cross

the pedestal i placed you on

is high above me – in the golden age of loss

im drowning in you. your words have weight for me

and im drowning in the deep.

we've suffered enough. lets sail for calmer seas.

ride the waves of bittersweet

found my way – to the stage im standing on.

i romanticize the early days

i just cant seem to find the sun – the renewing one

yes i found my way – to the open waves sustaining me

i criticize my later years

i just cant seem to find the sun – the precious one see less
