head over water

 

filter out the wilting; how you killed your motivation in the wrong

turn it over; find the motor still alive and going strong

you dry off your hands and turn yourself out to the day

see your breath is running shorts and lines pressed against your face

​

standing for a cause but progress is on pause 'cause

nothing matters when you can't breathe

​

head over water

keep your chin held farther than you ever had to bother

trying far before the flood

rains fill higher than sustained by the wires in your brain

you're tired 'cause it's thinner than your blood

​

draining from the straining of complaining over pain that you are in

tell the doctor there's a lock inside your body; he begins

twisting and turning the keys; testing for a sign

while the broke and unspoken are falling to the wayside

​

kids are so alive but you don't realize that

you were once thriving on life like them

​

head over water

keep your chin held farther than you ever had to bother

trying far before the flood

rains fill higher than sustained by the wires in your brain

you're tired 'cause it's thinner than your blood

​

don't wait; don't turn away anymore; keep afloat; don't row away from the shore

​

head over water; keep your chin held farther than you ever had to bother trying

rains fill higher than sustained by the wires in your brain; you're tired

​

head over water

keep your chin held farther than you ever had to bother

trying far before the flood

rains fill higher than sustained by the wires in your brain

you're tired 'cause it's thinner than your blood
