As I Drown

fear has quickened the heartbeat

but we're fiends wanting more 

who would ever believe 

you've replenished the need

we're still begging at your door



this is your cue to go

yeah you should know

what this means to me



you've been dragging this out

now, for way too long 

it's time to set me free



and I have tried my hardest

and you have beat me down 

'cause it's the same old situation 

pouring, water as I drown

and I have tried my hardest

and you have beat me down 



stepping over the threshold

to usher in new times 

we've been running on vapours

but that won't make us

change our crooked lives



'cause now we're moving on 

we're way too strong 

we will wring you dry 



you've been dragging this out 

now for way too long 

it's time to say goodbye



and I have tried my hardest

and you have beat me down 

'cause it's the same old situation 

pouring, water as I drown

and I have tried my hardest

and you have beat me down 



walking against wind-driven rain

tangled in a blanket of your lies

you're fucking killing me



and I have tried my hardest

and you have beat me down 

'cause it's the same old situation 

pouring, water as I drown

and I have tried my hardest

and you have beat me down
