It’s getting harder to breathe
Under water;
I’m drowning all alone.
I’m not a martyr
So I can’t work any longer,
It’s already stripped me to the bone.
Chorus:
And now I’m 10 leagues under,
Where I can’t I can’t breathe,
I’m trying not to let it get the best of me,
Every time I relax
It just comes back,
Like a flood from Noah’s Arc
Or a heart attack,
And I’m gasping for air.
I’m rolling under the waves
They sound like thunder
As I’m praying for the surf to break.
Out of the riptide,
I’m thrown onto the shoreline
And nowhere I can hide.
Chorus:
And now I’m 10 leagues under,
Where I can’t I can’t breathe,
I’m trying not to let it get the best of me,
Every time I relax
It just comes back,
Like a flood from Noah’s Arc
Or a heart attack,
And I’m gasping for air.
Bridge:
Don’t want no search crews
Looking for me,
Oh I won’t be dragged back to the sea.
Chorus:
I won’t be 10 leagues under
Where I can’t breathe,
I’ll never let it get the best of me.
Every time I relapse,
I’ll just push it back,
No more floods or fires or heart attacks,
And now I’m breaking for air.
Watch me breaking for air.
