For so long I have lived with this affliction
For so long I cant forget
In my heart I am burdened by temptation
To understand is to regret

I bow to no one, I'd fucking die for my beliefs
But this is senseless and no one cares if you believe
I fall beneath you, the crushing wave of my defeat
Has stirred within me, another tide of apathy

The coffins closing
the maggots feast on my decay
I'm slowly drifting, into this hole that i have made

It feels so cold, without you here
I am drowning in pools of blood

Fuck you and fuck your sorrow
You left me here to fucking drown

As her screams fill the silence
As her warmth returns to cold
Will you bleed for forgiveness as i drive this dagger home

In the wake of transgression, in the coldness of despair
They will mourn for your ending
And for the life that you became

Lets make a toast, to all your friends
They will witness your final breath

Lets make a toast, to all your friends
They will witness your final breath

This is the last, I fucking love you
Before I end your fucking life

So you're sick and you feel like you've got to stay in line.
I keep the questions in my mind the time is changing with the tide.
It's never too late don't put it all aside.
Don't become the one you hate.
So sink or swim you make the call.
Give way to one give way to them all.
And they'll all come crumbling down.
All the times that no one heard your voice.
All those times did you know you really had a choice.
Don't sell yourself short.
Your better off without it you're better than before.
Now this mess becomes too much at a time.
It's always on my mind and there's not a place to hide.
Don't let it go don't put it all aside, to watch everything collide.

you're a single survivor
found an ocean between you and those that you lost
got a phonecall this morning
told your sisters had always been part of the quest
will they know what you look like
when you step of the bus will they run to your side
like they know you from photos
like they know you from stories that kept you alive

are you gonna sink or swim
from coast to coast is more than you bargin for
are you gonna lose or win
from ties and lies
is something worth trying for

when you sit round the table
will you look into the faces and just see your own
will you talk of the future
will you talk of the things that were almost unknown

are you gonna sink or swim (it's so strange)
from coast to coast is more than you bargin for
are you gonna lose or win (it's so strange)
from ties and lies
is something worth trying for 4x

What if the devil was a lie?
What if God did not exist?
So, with all due respect
Tell me, what is death?
If life is just a bitch

I see the evil in their eyes
I hear the lies behind their breath
They wander in the dark
They do not have a heart
Don't let them take it away

Brace for impact!

You will pay the price
For betraying me
You will pay the price
You will pay the price
For betraying me
You will pay the price

So save yourself!
Cause the tide is rising high

It's sink or swim
It's hit or miss
What will you pick?
So take some action
Don't let the undertow grab hold

It's sink or swim
It's hit or miss
Man overboard!
Man overboard!

Do you believe in ghosts?
Conducting from the grave
We are nothing but pawns
We move to where they want
Cause life is just a game

I wrapped my hands around your throat
With a smile on my face
Squeeze untill you choke
I will not let go till I feel no pulse

You will pay the price
For betraying me
You will pay the price
For betraying me

So save yourself
Cause the tide is rising high

It's sink or swim
It's hit or miss
What will you pick?
So take some action
Don't let the undertow grab hold

It's sink or swim
It's hit or miss
Man overboard!
Man overboard!

I bid farewell,
To you fairweather friend
I know someday you'll get what you deserve (you deserve)
And after all,
The bridges you have burned
I forgive you for the things you have done!

I've heard this all before
Don't waste my time, don't break my balls, get out my door.
You wont see me caving in
It's time I stand and show you what's making me spin

So if you, peel away the skin
You'll find the strong survive but they can't always win
I'll stand up, to the shallow end
You won't see me drown when I sink or swim

Don't spell this out in tears
Don't play those games or say these names and live your fears
I told you no means no
You had your chance, you broke my heart, its time to go

So if you, peel away the skin
You'll find the strong survive but they can't always win
I'll stand up, to the shallow end
You won't see me drown when I sink or swim
You won't see me drown when I sink or swim

So if you, peel away the skin
You'll find the strong survive but they can't always win
I'll stand up, to the shallow end
You won't see me drown when I sink or swim
Our loves come to a bitter end
I hope you drown when you sink or swim
I hope you drown when you sink or swim
Sink or swim
You sink or swim

It is not safe to assume that I am like me... in anyway (anyway)
I do not even like the taste of broken words (broken words) or my broken promises.
I will not even waste my time here.

I know what I've been called to be
I know it won't include me
You're trouble, You're wasted
You know I just won't take this
Sink or Swim

There is no place for you in what I am called to do
Heart undergraced, I do not understand the way...
You curse, you bend my words,
you just praise Jesus to be heard.
When will we ever learn?

I know what I've been called to do
I know it won't include you
You're trouble, You're wasted
You know I just won't take this
Sink or Swim

You're trouble,
You're wasted.
You're trouble,
You're jaded.

I know what I've been called to do
I know it won't include you
You're trouble, You're wasted
You know I just won't take this
I know what I've been called to do
I know it won't include you
You're trouble, You're wasted
You know I just won't take this
Won't take this, you wasted.
Sink or Swim

Oh, what a lonely view
When I stare at you, it's a crime
So, where to go from here?
It's the day I fear,
Come quick night

Love me,
Was it you I thought I saw
When I was drowning
In a sea of pain that all your love created?
How could you just leave me there?
Why don't you save me?
It's been years since I felt whole without you

Why are we not with you?
Worlds apart, you knew
We were so sore
If you still love me then,
Why do we ignore sink or swim?

Oh, help me
Was it you I thought I saw
When I was drowning
In a sea of pain that all your love created?
I thought I could spare your hair
But why would you care?
Was I everything that you ever asked for?

Love me,
Was it you I thought I saw
When I was drowning
In a sea of pain that all your love created?
How could you just leave me there?
Why don't you save me?
Was I everything that you ever asked for?
