[Verse 1]

Give me some religion, pass the wine

'Cause this time I can't

Hold it in like I always did

Give me some more TV, make it loud

Make believe I'm in

Desperate need for some company

Attention, this is not a test

Help me get this moving target

Off my chest from my closest friends

Save me from this hopelessness

Talk some sense into this head

I'll stop this endless SOS


[Chorus]

Treading water with weights around my neck

A shipwreck of reckless accidents

Overboard and I'm about to quit

Head first, high dive in this deep end

Abandon ship 'cause it's sinking way too quick


[Verse 2]

Give me some forgiveness, and I'll try

'Cause this time if I

Pull the pin, I'll be blown to bits

Give me some more music

I'll sit and read the lyrics like

A bible, a gospel, a sing-along

Attention, this is not a test

Swim to shore before unconsciousness

My hands feel like they're made of bricks

Save me from my recklessness

Talk some sense into this head

I'll stop this endless SOS


[Chorus]

Treading water with weights around my neck

A shipwreck of reckless accidents

Overboard and I'm about to quit

Head first, high dive in this deep end

Abandon ship 'cause it's sinking way too quick


[Bridge]

I can't listen to all the reasons

I just need one more thing to believe in

The one thing that will keep me breathing

I'll kiss the dirt when I hit dry land


[Chorus]

Treading water with weights around my neck

A shipwreck of reckless accidents

Overboard and I'm about to quit

Head first, high dive in this deep end

Abandon ship 'cause it's sinking way too quick
