Strength to Survive

As I Lay Dying

Compositor: Não Disponível

I see the pain you're drowning in

I want more than anything
To rescue you as you're sinking
But you are forgetting
You were already swimming
Long before I was ever around

You've tread these waters many times before
And always ended up on shore
Now you've somehow started to believe
(Your false belief)
That I'm your only hope of not drowning
Drowning

I see the pain you're drowning in
But I can't reach you
I can't save you
I feel the weight that makes you sink
But I can't reach you
Without being pulled in
Drowning

Think back to a time before you felt lost
Think back to a time it wasn't just us
Now you've somehow started to believe
(Your false belief)
That I'm your only hope of not drowning
Drowning

I see the pain you're drowning in
But I can't reach you
I can't save you
I feel the weight that makes you sink
But I can't reach you
Without being pulled in

I have nothing but false hope to give
Drowning
You had power then and you still do now
Without chasing a savior who will never be found

I want more than anything
To rescue you as you sink
But now you're starting to see
That you never needed me

I'm not the one, who will save you
I wish I could but I, am drowning too

We're strong enough as soon as we believe
We are the ones who choose our destiny
Sinking, fading, drowning

I see the pain you're drowning in
But I can't reach you
I can't save you
I feel the weight that makes you sink
But I can't reach you
Without being pulled in

I see fear in your eyes
(Despair, dismay, and doubt)
Find your strength to survive
Strength inside without being pulled in

I am not the one who will save you
I wish I could, but I'm drowning too
