[Verse] I fell into chaos when I was just a kid They said too much TV messed with what I did But I saw the world through a static haze And knew my choices would echo through the days [Verse 2] Never hit mayhem just the edge of the flame Stripped my soul bare dove into the game Gotta lose your breath before you catch the wind Gotta let the dark teach you how to begin [Chorus] Sink before you swim feel the weight pull you down See the bottom’s grin before you turn it around Climb from the depths till the sky’s in your hand Rise from the ashes make your final stand [Bridge] Every scar a story every fall a climb Every shattered clock still keeping time The world’s a whisper till you make it shout Find your voice when the light burns out [Verse 3] I walked through shadows learned their dance by heart Found the beauty in breaking falling apart The stars only shine when the night gets deep And dreams grow wild where the broken weep [Chorus] Sink before you swim feel the weight pull you down See the bottom’s grin before you turn it around Climb from the depths till the sky’s in your hand Rise from the ashes make your final stand
