lyrics

[VERSE 1]
What is life but a swim in an ivory ocean?
You give your all and strain to finally break free
But a single swift motion
Is enough to bring you down to your knees
There’s no use in fighting
There’s no need to cheat
The weight of one finger
And it’s game over, defeat

[CHORUS]
So, help me, save me! I’m screaming S.O.S.
The waters are slowly rising over my head
Help me! Save me! I’m screaming S.O.S.
My heart is racing inside of my chest
Going down, down, under
Sinking down, down, down
My head is spinning around and around
Going down, down, under
Sinking down, down, down
Please throw me a lifeline unless you wanna see me drown

[VERSE 2]
The world whizzes by me, bells tellin’ me to move on
There’s a pain inside my chest, for now I close my eyes
I can’t afford to get this wrong
My heart is black and blue from all your lies
Is my dream worth living?
Am I out of time?
I wait here in the darkness
For the invention of rewind

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]
I’ve been bitten by the pressures
Venom seeps into my veins
All this stress and heartache is driving me insane

[OUTRO]
Going down, down, under
Sinking down, down, down
My head is spinning around and around
Going down, down, under
Sinking down, down, down
Please throw me a lifeline unless you wanna see me drown…
‘Cause what is life, but a swim in an ivory ocean?
