Lyrics Treading Water - Breakage feat. Detour City

Don't let go and slip down into the deep
I'll hold you up, but it's harder and harder to see
Down here, where the light fades
The sound of our loving is swallowed inside
There's nowhere to hide

"Always live for love", you said
"Never live for pain", you said
So why are we trapped in this slipstream of me?
We both can't tread water

Oh-oh-oh, oh
There's more to this than can ever be the truth
Steel blue on my lips and the taste, the taste of you
Like ribbons 'round my neck, the tide tightens, the dark lightens
But I won't leave, I won't let go
You're all I've ever known

"Always live for love", you said
"Never live for pain", you said
So why are we trapped in this slipstream of me?
We both can't tread water

You're drowning in me
And you're pulling, you're pulling me down
The water is rising, rising up in me
And I can't look away, and I can't breathe
It's all disappearing, it's all slowly sinking
And I just need to leave

Drowning, oh, yeah
Oh-oh...
