i couldve lied
  the truth a needle in your eye
  the wound a band-aid wont heal
  but i persist
  and try to tell it
  like it is
  whats the point if were not real?
    [Chorus]
  riptide sweeps me out to drown
  flailing arms and aching chest the more
  i struggle,the more it wears me down
  how long can i hold my breath?
    another test
  you used to say i was the best so
  proud to walk by my side
  now you see everything thats wrong with me
  can you accept it
  will you try?
    [Chorus]
    rolling
  choking
  still im kicking
  driftig farther out to sea
  i wont let go of
  my dim hopes somehow
  youll make it out to me
