[Intro: Tim Lambesis]
I see the pain you're drowning in
I want more than anything
To rescue you as you're sinking
But you are forgetting
You were already swimming
Long before I was ever around
[Verse 1: Tim Lambesis, Ryan Neff, Ryan Neff & Tim Lambesis]
You've tread these waters many times before
And always ended up on shore
Now you've somehow started to believe
(Your false belief)
That I'm your only hope of not drowning
Drowning
[Chorus: Ryan Neff & Tim Lambesis, Ryan Neff, Tim Lambesis]
I see the pain you're drowning in
But I can't reach you
I can't save you
I feel the weight that makes you sink
But I can't reach you
Without being pulled in
Drowning
[Verse 2: Tim Lambesis, Ryan Neff, Ryan Neff & Tim Lambesis]
Think back to a time before you felt lost
Think back to a time it wasn't just us
Now you've somehow started to believe
(Your false belief)
That I'm your only hope of not drowning
Drowning
[Chorus: Ryan Neff & Tim Lambesis, Ryan Neff]
I see the pain you're drowning in
But I can't reach you
I can't save you
I feel the weight that makes you sink
But I can't reach you
Without being pulled in
[Breakdown: Tim Lambesis]
I have nothing but false hope to give
Drowning
You had power then and you still do now
Without chasing a savior who will never be found
[Bridge 1: Tim Lambesis]
I want more than anything
To rescue you as you sink
But now you're starting to see
That you never needed me
[Guitar Solo: Phil Sgrosso]
[Bridge 2: Tim Lambesis]
I'm not the one, who will save you
I wish I could but I, am drowning too
[Pre-Chorus: Ryan Neff]
We're strong enough as soon as we believe
We are the ones who choose our destiny
Sinking, fading, drowning
[Chorus: Ryan Neff & Tim Lambesis, Ryan Neff]
I see the pain you're drowning in
But I can't reach you
I can't save you
I feel the weight that makes you sink
But I can't reach you
Without being pulled in
[Post-Chorus: Ryan Neff, Tim Lambesis]
I see fear in your eyes
(Despair, dismay, and doubt)
Find your strength to survive
Strength inside without being pulled in
[Outro: Tim Lambesis]
I am not the one who will save you
I wish I could, but I'm drowning too
