[Verse 1] Tepid waves Of trepidation covering me As if to provide A moment of clarity [Pre-Chorus 1] What lies ahead Is it another unfolding travesty again? I'm searching for substance But I don't even fit into my own skin [Chorus] You spoke of a world full of purpose As I choked down every single lie 'Til I sank all the way to the bottom With a heavy heart like an anchor deep inside [Post-Chorus] And it's dragging me down Down, down, down [Verse 2] You state your case But the words fall like broken mirrors And shifting the blame Won't provide another place to hide
[Pre-Chorus 2] What lies ahead Is it another misguided, sad, and failed attempt? I'm searching for anything But I haven't even seen the sun in days [Chorus] You spoke of a world full of purpose As I choked down every single lie 'Til I sank all the way to the bottom With a heavy heart like an anchor deep inside You spoke of a world full of purpose As I choked down every single lie 'Til I sank all the way to the bottom With a heavy heart like an anchor deep inside [Post-Chorus] And it's dragging me down Down, down, down
