lyrics

A fire burning in my head
Snuffed by the ocean just to drown instead
Just please know that I don’t wanna die, but a moment alone can spark a fire
That I can’t contain
Always fighting; always in vein

When you were calling from miles away
You were always drained; Always afraid
And I was on my way to an early grave
And yes, i heard you fucking say “you know that’s all it takes? it’s never just one drink”
Always a sip away from numbing everything
I swear this isn’t me
This isn’t me

A fire burning in my head
snuffed by the ocean just to drown instead
A lifetime debt
Sick, but still I’m here living it

Throw me below the undertow and let it drown me out
It’s all wasted time with me ‘cause I can’t see anything beyond the waves
Sea foam green consuming me
I’ll throw it all away(x2)

I hope you know i have to live my life
In spite of the light that never shines
You know what you did, and it kills me inside that you feel no regret

A fire burning in my head snuffed by the ocean, just to drown instead
A lifetime debt
Sick, but still I’m here living
