It's so hard to make an effort

To keep my surroundings in line

When sometimes, I can't do it for myself

I confess, I'm not the man I proclaim

My feet, my feet are sinking

Into the mire beneath me

The mire, the mire beneath me

I can't help but notice the endless battle for air

While being swept by the tides of complacency

My knowledge is accountability

And I have to do something, I have to do something

Blinded by the plank in my eye

I cannot guide anyone

I have to do something

I have to do something

This lonely vessel

Is surely sinking

I'm surely sinking

I'm surely sinking

I'm surely sinking

Take me back

If it means they die to themselves

Only to raise up their new lives

Stop me in my tracks if it will shake them

Stop, stop me

Stop me

We are nothing without each other
