How Long, How Low?

I've been thinking about what I believe in
Drowning, trying to swim, but the ship is sinking
Oh, please pull me out of the waves

I've been looking for something to stop the bleeding
But nothing can fill the void, I'm still missing pieces
Help me, tell me I'll be okay

How long, how long 'til I'm out of this place?
How low, how low can I bend 'til I break?
All I know is I can't carry this no more
So how long? How low?

I've been thinking about just up and leaving
Can't seem to open the door 'cause my nerve is fleeting
Barely carry my hollow state

Grasping at memories from when I was younger
Feels like I'm someone else and it makes me wonder
Have I been like this all my life?

How long, how long 'til I'm out of this place?
How low, how low can I bend 'til I break?
All I know is I can't carry this no more
So how long? How low?

No where to reach out, no where to run now
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm feeling run down, no where to run now
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
No where to reach out, no where to run now
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm feeling run down, no where to run now

How long, how long 'til I'm out of this place?
How low, how low can I bend 'til I break?
All I know is I can't carry this no more
So how long? How low?
