How Long, How Low?

I've been thinking about what I believe in

Drowning, trying to swim, but the ship is sinking

Oh, please pull me out of the waves

I've been looking for something to stop the bleeding

But nothing can fill the void, I'm still missing pieces

Help me, tell me I'll be okay

How long, how long 'til I'm out of this place?

How low, how low can I bend 'til I break?

All I know is I can't carry this no more

So how long? How low?

I've been thinking about just up and leaving

Can't seem to open the door 'cause my nerve is fleeting

Barely carry my hollow state

Grasping at memories from when I was younger

Feels like I'm someone else and it makes me wonder

Have I been like this all my life?

How long, how long 'til I'm out of this place?

How low, how low can I bend 'til I break?

All I know is I can't carry this no more

So how long? How low?

Nowhere to reach out, nowhere to run now

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I'm feeling run down, nowhere to run now

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Nowhere to reach out, nowhere to run now

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I'm feeling run down, nowhere to run now

How long, how long 'til I'm out of this place?

How low, how low can I bend 'til I break?

All I know is I can't carry this no more

So how long? How low?
