lyrics

These ships have sailed
Across the darkest waters
I've got nothing left

Wind blows through sails
All torn and tattered
I've got nowhere to go

I'm tired of keeping
My own head above water
And I'm kicking but I'm losing my breath

We're sinking in stormy weather
Our lives have come untethered
You took until I had nothing left

Throw me in the water
And let these waves fill my lungs
We're falling overboard again
The storm is getting harder
To navigate

Nothing is shorter
Than this patience I have
Don't ask me to forgive and forget
In the water
And let me sink

You and I have
Been the vicious rapids
Tempers rise and we both fall

Message in bottles
'Cause you don't answer when I call
Shatters when it hits the wall

The worries have multiplied
I'm giving into the tides
I'm stronger when I carry less

The memories I can't find
They're burning up with the fire
This life is nothing but a smoking shipwreck

Throw me in the water
And let these waves fill my lungs
We're falling overboard again
The storm is getting harder
To navigate

Nothing is shorter
Than this patience I have
Don't ask me to forgive and forget
In the water
And let me sink

There's nowhere to go but down
I'm drowning
There's nowhere to get around you
Spent every second counting

Throw me in the water
And let these waves fill my lungs

The storm is getting harder
To navigate

Nothing is shorter
Than this patience I have
Don't ask me to forgive and forget
In the water
And let me sink

Let me sink
Let me sink

Throw me in the water
And let me sink
