Whirlpools

Pulling me under, bringing me down
I'm just trying my hardest not to drown
Whirlpools
Sink or swim, we all die like fools
Always swimming against the current
Fighting for my life when I knew I wouldn't survive
Anchored to this town, I'm barely alive

I've never known myself to sink this low
As though this heart of mine has turned to stone
Gasping for air, like I'm lost at sea
While the weight of this world is slowly drowning me

This world is drowning me
You're slowly killing me

These blue lungs have turned to lead
Should have burnt the whole town down
In a fury of hell fire and flame instead
Under pressure it's crushing my chest
A feeble attempt, still limp and lifeless
Maybe somehow I can learn to fight
This sinking feeling and turn the tides

I've never known myself to sink this low
As though this heart of mine has turned to stone
Gasping for air, like I'm lost at sea
While the weight of this world is slowly drowning me

Always swimming against the current
Fighting for my life when I knew I wouldn't survive
We're all caught in the undertow

Around and around we go
Caught in the undertow
Around and around we go
Whirlpools
Sink or swim we all die like fools
Pulling me under, bringing me down
I'm just trying my hardest not to drown

I've never known myself to sink this low
As though this heart of mine has turned to stone
Gasping for air, like I'm lost at sea
While the weight of this world is slowly drowning me
This world is drowning me
You're slowly killing me
