Sinking
Wanting
Thinking
Sinking all the while
it hurts to be alone
When it hurts to be alone
When its cold outside
When its cold inside
When it hurts to be alone
It hurts to be alone
When Im feeling it
When Im down and out
When Im feeling it
When Im down and out
All torn up
All torn down
Yeah
Im thinking that Im sinking
And Im sinking all the while
Falling down
Falling down
I stand up
To fall back down
Caving in
Caving in
I think my heart
Is caving in
Dead air
Dead phone
Dead quiet
Sinking all the while
Writhing my hands
Grinding my teeth
Staring at the floor
Sinking all the while
Cutting my teeth on the blues
Soul sinking to the bottom of my shoes
Thinking my lifes a waiting game
Staring at my grave and feeling the same
When I want what I want
When I want what I want
When I need it
I need it
When all I need
Is all I need
When I need it
I need it
Sinking
Sinking
Sinking
Sinking
