[Verse 1] Did I kill the screen before I crawled in bed? Or is that just the static screaming in my head? Shut out the world and kill the lights Does anybody else struggle through these nights? [Chorus] Tell me I'm lost, tell me I'm found Keep my feet on the solid ground The water is rising, I can’t hear a sound I'm screaming for help but I'm gagged and I'm bound So pull me up, pull me in Wash away every single sin Look me in the eye and lie to me And tell me it's not really the end [Verse 2] I pray for the best but I expect the worst Living inside of this silent curse The air gets thin, I can barely think Inch by inch, I'm standing on the brink [Chorus] Tell me I'm lost, tell me I'm found Keep my feet on the solid ground The water is rising, I can’t hear a sound I'm screaming for help but I'm gagged and I'm bound So pull me up, pull me in Wash away every single sin Look me in the eye and lie to me And tell me it's not really the end [Verse 3] Who am I now? Where did I go? Paint on the smile and put on the show It took all my hopes, it took all my dreams And tore them apart at the seams [Bridge] "Here is the cure, just swallow the pill" Ignore the fact that nothing feels real Stand up straight and fall in line (Don't let me ruin it one more time) Everyone’s watching, the room starts to spin I’m in the back, shedding my skin Rocking back and forth, off the rails... [Guitar Solo] [Verse 4] I haven't moved, I haven't spoken God, it's true, I guess I'm broken They say it gets better, "stick to the plan" But the target is missing the heart of the man [Outro] I want to be better, I want to be more But I'm tragic as a letter washing ashore Not looking for likes, not looking for hope Just painting my pain without using a rope [Final Chorus] Tell me I'm lost, tell me I'm found Keep my feet on the solid ground The water is rising, I can’t hear a sound I'm screaming for help but I'm gagged and I'm bound So pull me up, pull me in Wash away every single sin Look me in the eye and lie to me And tell me it's not really the fucking end [End]
