We're only treading water, trying not to sink
As these waves take us places we never were
We're only sinking deeper, to the bottom of the sea
So don't tell me I am safe if I'm drowning, don't tell me there's good in me
Don't tell me I'm saved if you're lying, don't tell me what you can't see
Don't tell me I'll live if I'm dying, unless you make it your duty to save me
Don't tell me I'm safe if I'm drowning, don't tell me there's good in me
What good are words in the middle of a struggle, I need silence
What good are words if I cannot speak, at the bottom of the sea
At the bottom of the sea
We're only treading water and trying not to sink as the waves take us places we never thought we'd be
We're fighting the current and forces at bay
They're taking us places, we never thought we'd be
I'm struggling to find my safe harbor
I need an anchor to keep me still
I'm just a ship, that's failed. That's sunk with no hope of ever being found
So don't tell me I'm sad if I'm laughing, don't tell me what you can't see
Don't tell me I'm dead if I'm living, don't take that away from me
Don't tell me that grace is impossible, unworkable, unfeasible
Don't tell me I'm sad if I'm laughing and don't tell me that its unattainable
There's a truth to be found. (there's a hope to be had)
There's a red-skied night. (there's a red-skied morn)
There's a good, there's a just. (there is evil and sin)
There's a God who forgives (there's a devil, he lives)
Hell does have flames, but they don't offer hope, they swallow it, they burn it
The ocean still trembles above my face but it's getting calmer as I'm sinking deeper
