[Verse 1]

My eyes have adjusted to dark

And so has my heart

The weight of the world has covered me

I'm in over my head

Am I living or dead

Can anyone hear me calling out

I'm calling out


[Hook]

I'm finally breaking

So where are you now

It's been such a long time

That I've tried to live without

I'm suffocating, I need you to breathe

So reach down and pull me up, pull me out

Before I am buried beneath


[Verse 2]

I built this house on the shore

All I wanted was more

Then I felt the sand start shifting

I saw the cracks in the walls

I painted over them all

I tried my best to just ignore

I can't ignore


[Hook]

I'm finally breaking

So where are you now

It's been such a long time

That I've tried to live without

I'm suffocating, I need you to breathe

So reach down and pull me up, pull me out

Before I am buried beneath


[Verse 3]

I thought I was climbing out

But it's dragging me down

What's hidden here with me

Thought I was alone

But it pulls me deeper now

I can't escape


[Hook]

I'm finally breaking

So where are you now

It's been such a long time

That I've tried to live without

I'm suffocating, I need you to breathe

So reach down and pull me up, pull me out

Before I am buried beneath
