[Verse 1]

It starts simply, nice and slow

But the current grows so quickly

Skipping stones I didn't throw

You're sinking beneath me

I try my best to pull you in

I'm kicking and screaming, you slip

And I wake up in a sweat

[Pre-Chorus]

To see you're next to me

Still quietly in bed

[Chorus]

I know I'll fail you again

I've got this weight on my chest

Just dying to breathe

I know I'll fail you again

I feel that hand at my neck

And it's only a dream

But I know I'll fail you again

[Verse 2]

The worst is it happens twice every time

How perfect

I'm terrified, ever-violent sequence

Repeating before my eyes

This can't be right

I'm speechless and weakened

And when it ends I wake up in a sweat

[Pre-Chorus]

To see you're next to me

Still quietly in bed

[Chorus]

I know I'll fail you again

I've got this weight on my chest

Just dying to breathe

I know I'll fail you again

I feel that hand at my neck

And it's only a dream

[Bridge]

And I'm afraid to sleep at night

'Cause every time I close my eyes I'm fighting

So get me out, get me out

Cut me open, bleed me dry

I'd rather that than have to see you crying

Get me out, just get me out

Of all these dreams you die in

[Chorus]

I know I'll fail you again

I've got this weight on my chest

Just dying to breathe

I know I'll fail you again

I feel that hand at my neck

And it's only a dream

[Outro]

And now I'm afraid to sleep at night

'Cause every time I close my eyes

I'll fail you again

I feel that hand at my neck

And it's only a dream

And I know I'll fail you again
