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
