SINK OR SWIM

Late night
Shaking, bottle in my hand again
Anxious and I don't know what to do with it
Can't have nothing good, I fuck up everything
Like a pendulum but I don't know which way I'll swing
Oh, I guess I'll never know
Know what it feels like to be complete without chemicals
Oh but that's just how it goes
Can't get my head right
Cause I've been choking on my liquor
Stay afloat
It's sink or swim
Trying to keep my head above it
But the waves pull me back in
Stealing all the air from me
Stay afloat
It's sink or swim
Trying to keep my head above it
But the waves pull me back in
Beckoning to me like a siren
I fell in love with the worst of me
All alone with myself and I can't breathe
Mix pills and gin to help me sleep
My thoughts are racing and they won't let me be
Oh, I guess I'll never know
Know what it feels like to have a mind that's predictable
Oh but that's just how it goes
Lost in the floodlights
And I can feel it drag me under
Stay afloat
It's sink or swim
Trying to keep my head above it
But the waves pull me back in
Stealing all the air from me
Stay afloat
It's sink or swim
Trying to keep my head above it
But the waves pull me back in
Beckoning to me like a siren
Don't let me drown
Please help me out
The depths are growing deeper as I plummet down
How long until my lungs give out
I'm suffocating under the pressure now
Oh, I guess I'll never know
Know what it feels like to be complete without chemicals
Oh but that's just how it goes
Can't get my head right
Cause I've been choking on my liquor
Stay afloat
It's sink or swim
Trying to keep my head above it
But the waves pull me back in
Stealing all the air from me
Stay afloat
It's sink or swim
Trying to keep my head above it
But the waves pull me back in
Beckoning to me like a siren
