lyrics

This mornin’ I woke in pain
This livin’s gettin’ to me and I don’t wanna die, wanna die in vain
Tryin’ my best to hold myself together
I’m burning up in water and drowning in flame
Just like a submarine, you told me
To wipe away my tears, to wipe my tears away

Swim to the surface, breathe, believe
Swim to the surface, breathe

Cuz life is not a white flag,
But a war you gotta fight
You gotta find a way to make it through each night
When every light casts a shadow

There’s needles beneath my skin, a torture chamber,
Like judgement day with no proper savior
Another cross to bear before it breaks me
I’m wandering alone in unholy favor
Like a modern-day Job, you told me, baby,
You gotta want redemption before someone saves ya

Fall upon your knees and pray
Fall upon your knees

Cuz life is not a white flag,
But a war you gotta fight
You gotta find a way to make it through each night
When every light casts a shadow
