about

a song about the loved ones you grieve, and the loved ones who pull you from the wreckage

lyrics

I feel god’s hate today
Filling up my lungs
I thought I’d be stronger
Losing someone I loved

In an endless cycle
I still spiral
The things I could’ve changed
In an endless cycle
I still spiral
Am I the one to blame? Cause

I can’t stop drowning
I can’t keep swimming
I miss you that much
I can’t stop crying
But I’ll throw anchors
And let myself plunge

I can’t stop drowning
I can’t keep swimming
My lungs keep filling up
When you lost somebody
And nothing’s working
To pull you back up

Can I break the cycle
End the spiral
Accept that this is real

Stop denying
Keep on trying
Finally start to heel, cause

I can’t stop drowning
I can’t keep swimming
I miss you that much
I can’t stop crying
But I'll keep trying, cause

I can’t stop drowning
I can’t keep swimming
My lungs keep filling up
But why keep fighting?
When everybody's trying to pull you back up
