Drowning in the morning
Drowning in the evening
Drowning when you're sleeping
Drowning when we're meeting
Kiss the ground beneath my feet
Mouth full of concrete
Now you sink when you swim
The constant defeat
Drowning in your feelings
Surrounded by my demons
Drowning in the secrets
Too many I can't keep in
Bleeding out from the hole in your chest
Needing rest
The outcome was anyone's guess, what a mess
Fill the hole with the same concrete
Then the cycle will be nearly complete
Your heart will beat again
You need an ending to begin
Kill me with every could have been
By picking the fights that you can't win
Drowning in the daylight
Drowning in the hindsight
Drowning when you're breathing
Can't help when you are sinking
A clouded perspective removes the alarm
I didn't mean to cause so much harm
Your shattered frame will never be the same
Love of your life to a beast with no name
It's difficult to say his name even out of context
The letters stick together like pain is just a contest
Have a good look in the mirror and pull the trigger, it's self defense
In order to fix your heart you have to kill your innocence
Or keep filling that hole with more concrete
Always sinking means the cycle will repeat
Your heart will beat again
You need an ending to begin
Kill me with every could have been
By picking the fights that you can't win
It's not an if it is a when
Your heart needs time to mend
Kill me with every could have been
By picking the fights that leave you torn open
It's never enough, never enough
You were never enough, it's never enough
Always chasing enough, wanting enough
But it's never enough, never in love
Your heart will beat again
You need an ending to begin
Kill me with every could have been
By picking the fights that leave you torn open
Your heart will beat again
You need an ending to begin
Kill me with every could have been
By picking the fights that you can't win
It's not an if it is a when
Your heart needs time to mend
Kill me with every could have been
By picking the fights that leave you torn open
