Sinking Under

(album: Until I Wake - 2021)

The lights went out
I could see my own grave
God help me now
Is all that I could bear to say

Hands reaching from the floor
My body's laying lifeless while my spirit sinks below
If I could find a way back
I promise I would never take my life for granted anymore
And I can change

Oh the price I've paid to learn a lesson
Is it too late to find redemption?
Honestly I'm afraid of the answer
I admit I'm ashamed
I'm sinking under
I'm sinking under

I swear I never thought I would go down this road again
But everywhere I turn leads me back to the same destination
I've been selfish, I'm pathetic
I was afraid of the commitment
But I'm not hopeless. I'm not toxic
I have a heart. I have a conscious
Oh I've gone off the deep end

Oh the price I've paid to learn a lesson
Is it too late to find redemption?
Honestly I'm afraid of the answer
I admit I'm ashamed
I'm sinking under

God please help me now
I'm sinking under guilt
Will you pull me out?
You've been living in sin
The voice in my head says I'll never win
Tarnishing yourself with substances
Playing the victim's
How you live with yourself?

Oh the price I've paid to learn a lesson
Is it too late to find redemption?
Honestly I'm afraid of the answer
I admit I'm ashamed
I'm sinking under
I'm sinking under
