Head High (Swim)

What do you do when you've given up
How did this gold mine begin to rust?
When 12 years old turns to 23
That bitch called time is a petty thief
No one hears what you didn't say
If you're not at the top, then you're in the way
And as long as you don't kill yourself, no one cares that you're not okay
Swim when your body's given out
Swim only you can do it for yourself
When the water is cold and your breathing is slow, keep going, and you will live
When shelter is void, and you're left with no choice, just promise me you'll swim
What do you do when you've givеn up?
How did this gold mine turn to dust?
When 12 years old turns to 23
And family comfort turns to thеrapy
Prone to be alone
Like a fawn without a home
A dog without a bone
A disappointing milestone
Swim when your body's given out
Swim only you can do it for yourself
When the water is cold and your breathing is slow, keep going, and you will live
When shelter is void, and you're left with no choice just promise me you'll swim
Keep your head high above
Breathe in, breathe out my love
Keep your head high above
Breathe in, breathe out my love
Keep your head high above
Breathe in, breathe out my love
Keep your head high above
Breathe in, breathe out my love
(When the water is cold and your breathing is slow, keep going, and you will live)
(When shelter is void, and you're left with no choice just promise me you'll swim)
Keep your head high above
Breathe in, breathe out my love
Keep your head high above
Breathe in, breathe out my love
Keep your head high above
Breathe in, breathe out my love
Keep your head high above
Breathe in, breathe out my love
