lyrics

Oh my god the world is burning down around me
and I can't hear my own voice calling out to safety
Oh my god the world is burning down around me
I can't feel my own hands treading now
I fear I'll drown

It starts again
Can you feel it?
The fabric of the waves above your head pressing in
Take a breath while you can
but you better make it last
'cause the tide is coming back

Always lookin' up
just to fill my lungs with anything that's real

I thought I'd reach the shore by now
So much left to figure out
Shredded muscles failing now
Waste all my worry before I drown

Always lookin' up
just to fill my lungs with anything that's real
When everything I love is a figment
I'd give anything to feel alive
Always lookin' up
Always lookin' up

It'll get better with time you say
Things will not always be this way
It'll get better yeah
It will get better
It will get better with time...

It hasn't got better with time and I
am losing my will to stay alive
It isn't any better
When does it get better?
It has to get better before it gets worse now

Oh my god the world is burning down around me
and I can feel my body
break against the surface tension
