As I Drown

fear has quickened the heartbeat
but we're fiends wanting more
who would ever believe
you've replenished the need
we're still begging at your door

this is your cue to go
yeah you should know
what this means to me

you've been dragging this out
now, for way too long
it's time to set me free

and I have tried my hardest
and you have beat me down
'cause it's the same old situation
pouring, water as I drown
and I have tried my hardest
and you have beat me down

stepping over the threshold
to usher in new times
we've been running on vapours
but that won't make us
change our crooked lives

'cause now we're moving on
we're way too strong
we will wring you dry

you've been dragging this out
now for way too long
it's time to say goodbye

and I have tried my hardest
and you have beat me down
'cause it's the same old situation
pouring, water as I drown
and I have tried my hardest
and you have beat me down

walking against wind-driven rain
tangled in a blanket of your lies
you're fucking killing me

and I have tried my hardest
and you have beat me down
'cause it's the same old situation
pouring, water as I drown
and I have tried my hardest
and you have beat me down
