lyrics
it’s not like I said it’s okay, but I’ve been a little fake
I’m holding myself like a brick upon a still lake
but I’m pretty round, and I wouldn’t drown
I didn’t know I could breathe when I am faced down
it’s not like I said it’s okay, but I like to stay away
cause sight out of mind is fine, I don’t like to make waves
in the shallow end, I never learned to swim
I’ll get the courage one day when I am faced down in open water
it’s not like I said it’s okay
it’s not like it’s just a game
it wouldn’t ruin the day to find that
I’m faced-down in open water never long enough
so hold me down in open water, it gives me such a rush
I’m holding onto weakness only as a ploy
cause nothing’s ever gonna change the way I feel when I destroy
I’m holding myself like a brick upon a still lake
but I’m pretty round, and I wouldn’t drown
I didn’t know I could breathe when I am faced down
it’s not like I said it’s okay, but I like to stay away
cause sight out of mind is fine, I don’t like to make waves
in the shallow end, I never learned to swim
I’ll get the courage one day when I am faced down in open water
it’s not like I said it’s okay
it’s not like it’s just a game
it wouldn’t ruin the day to find that
I’m faced-down in open water never long enough
so hold me down in open water, it gives me such a rush
I’m holding onto weakness only as a ploy
cause nothing’s ever gonna change the way I feel when I destroy
