lyrics

Comes a time when we all gotta drown
Hit the bottom to find our way out
Pay the ultimate price for a flash before our eyes
We're adrift in a ocean of shame
Gotta learn how to swallow the pain
Of a life that remains
It's a flash before our eyes

Holding on to the fear
In this moment your life disappears
The end isn't near
It's here

We're going where no one has been
No choice but suit up and dive in
With lifejackets untied for the flash before your eyes
Stop holding on to your skin
As if there was meaning within
Where the hell have you been for the flash before your eyes?

You and I are the same
We've been playing our lives like a game
Trying to level up names
Until memory fades

Hold my head under
Make me beg to breathe
Tear me asunder in this life that is dying despite all that's trying in me

We're going where no one has been
No choice but suit up and dive in
With lifejackets untied for the flash before your eyes
Stop holding on to your skin
As if there was meaning within
Where the hell have you been for the flash before your eyes?

Holding on to the fear
In this moment your life disappears
The end isn't near
It's here
