Tonight I've been swept away
Once again I feel the pain
Same old pain calls my name
Water up to my knees, frozen in place
Slowly drowning in a place I've seen before


I've seen these waters rise again
I've felt them pull me down before
Every promise washed away
Every word swept out to sea

On my knees as I'm swept away
I cry in fear as I scream your name
Drained of tears as you drink them dry
Cold as ice, I've sunk before

I take a drink to bury all your lies
Drinking up all that I can find
Sweetest person lost to time
Cold as ice and no longer mine
You walk away as I beg for more

Warm heart turned to stone
You left me here to face the cold
Watching everything I love get swept away
Hopeless as I can be

On my knees as I'm swept away
I cry in fear as I scream your name
Drained of tears as you drink them dry
Cold as ice, I've sunk before

I can't do this anymore
I've been swept too far from shore
Now I'm washed away...
Washed away...

Darkness has taken over me
It tastes like ash inside my lungs
I cannot feel what I used to be
I’m barely holding on
Always standing on the edge
Always hiding who I am
I never chose to feel this way
It’s slipping through my hands

I scream inside but never speak
The silence pulls me down

Darkness covers me now
Pulls me under the sound
Every heartbeat fading out
While the walls close around
I tried to fight, tried to believe
Tried to drown it somehow
But every road leads back to me
And darkness covers me now

Life for a life, I almost fell
The whispers crawling through my brain
I fought alone through endless nights
Memorizing pain
So many times I tried to speak
So many truths I couldn’t show
The words died somewhere in my chest
And never left my throat

Love once chose your broken name
But love was never strong enough
Fear and silence built my cage
And death felt close enough to touch

Darkness covers me now
Pulls me under the sound
Every heartbeat fading out
While the walls close around
I tried to fight, tried to believe
Tried to drown it somehow
But every road leads back to me
And darkness covers me now
