Above Water

bleeding til it hurts the need to start over again the stillness with the burn remembering how to be begin when will it be my turn when time and I become friends? and how will all this work when you know where I have been? You see, the fire that was isn't here my heart is hanging onto every fear Singing the words as i try to heal this dark and deepest part of me trying to hold on Keep off the ledge far from the edge now wave the white flag it's time to back down wake up and set to keep your head above water dive in the sea where you can be and swim in the deep where you and I breathe wake up and set to keep your head above water For all and what its worth we rose and fell but in the end we learn from how we were everyone longs to pretend drowning in the dark even when the sun touches our face reaching for the stars as we look back in the race You see, the fire inside disappeared my heart is always out in the clear telling myself there's nothing to fear when the dark and deepest part of me is trying to let go Keep off the ledge far from the edge now wave the white flag it's time to back down wake up and set to keep your head above water dive in the sea where you can be and swim in the deep where you and I breathe wake up and set to keep your head above water Oh the crashing waves Bury me til I choose to be brave
