Breathe Underwater

Here comes another fall from grace
I'm always falling on my face
This attitude that I embrace
With a love I'm trying to replace
Try to kill this song
'Cause the melody's all wrong
And there's a beaver comin' on
It's hard to reconcile
What I've become
With the wounded child
Hiding deep inside
Breathe underwater
I'm comin' up for air
I wanna see another dawn
Comin' up for air
Sick of the slaughter
I'm comin' up for air
'Cause I've floating here too long
Take my ego for a ride
'Cause there's nobody by my side
It's getting hard to justify
And it won't be long 'til I collide
My weakness laid bare
As people stop and stare
But It's the last time, I swear
It's hard to reconcile
What I've become
With the wounded child
Hiding deep inside
Breathe underwater
I'm comin' up for air
I wanna see another dawn
Comin' up for air
Sick of the slaughter
I'm comin' up for air
'Cause I've floating here too long
Stop breathing
Stop breathing
Stop breathing
Stop breathing
Breathe underwater
I'm comin' up for air
I wanna see another dawn
Comin' up for air
Sick of the slaughter
I'm comin' up for air
'Cause I've floating here too long
I'm coming, I'm coming
I'm coming, ' coming
Comin' up for air
Comin' up for air
