Lyrics
I've been treading water just to stay afloat
Every wave we weather fills our little boat
All the words we swallowed sinking in the deep
Every broken promise drowning while we sleep
And I'm trying not to notice
How the water starts to rise
But the quiet keeps on growing
Pulling from inside
How long 'til we break
Before we start to drown
'Til the anchor that we hold
Just pulls us down
I've been tracing ripples where the light once played
Reaching for the surface through the cold you made
Every step we're taking feels like sinking sand
Fighting for a breath that's slipping from our hands
And I'm learning how it feels now
To be standing at the edge
While the silence pulls me under
Like a breaking wave
How long 'til we break
Before we start to drown
'Til the anchor we hold just pulls us down
Maybe we were sinking from the very start
Holding onto driftwood with our breaking hearts
If we're meant to go under or to find our way
Tell me why it's hard to swim away
How long 'til we break
Before we make the shore
'Til the anger that we hold just burns no more
