lyrics

Test the waters, to make sure
That you're ready, for what's down under
Oh pitch black, silence
You can't escape, this deep abyss
My thoughts surface as I turn them into tidal waves

And now I am drowning
If only I had learned to swim at a younger age
This life is overwhelming
There's only two options for me
Sink or swim

Sink or swim

Test the waters, to make sure you're alive
Fight past the cold, to make sure you try
Oh truly forgotten, innocence
You have to search for the light in these depths
My thoughts surface as I turn them into tidal waves

And now I am drowning
If only I had learned to swim at a younger age
This life is overwhelming
There's only two options for me

Sink or swim
I could care less if I drown
Sink or swim
I'll wait to be found
It's coming back to me
The pain in my lungs as I can't breath

Sink or swim
I could care less if I drown
Sink or swim
I'll wait to be found
It's coming back to me
The pain in my heart as I can't do anything

Sink or swim
I'll search for my lighthouse
Sink or swim
I won't wait to be found
It's coming back to me now
The strength to overcome the fears I have found

Sink or swim
I'll search for my lighthouse
Sink or swim
I won't wait to be found
It's coming back to me now
The hope and faith I thought I'd lost somehow

My thoughts surface as I turn them into tidal waves

And now I am drowning
If only I had learned to swim at a younger age
This life is overwhelming
There's only two options for me
Sink or swim

Sink or swim

Sink or swim

Sink or swim
