about

Angst and eurosynth, what more could one ask for?

lyrics

Why am I wearing heavy boots?
I feel so disconnected,
need to get back to my roots,
where my path was first selected

feeling void of any highs or lows
I don't feel human tell me who's to blame
how did i get here? only heaven knows
who am I? do you know my name

CHORUS
Can't stay afloat much longer
so tired of being pulled down
why should i even try and bother
Perhaps I should stop fighting it and drown

If I were a littler braver
I would surrender to the sea
ironic that my fear and weakness
the only that are things saving me

Why can't I put my head under the surface
and draw the water in as if to breathe
the will to live has it any purpose
I don't which lie I should believe

CHORUS

it feels so hopeless - why cant i end this
alone and friendless - my pain is endless
no way to mend this - i can't defend this

I feel my body fail, why am I fighting?
is there no one here to rescue me?
I feel like i am effortlessly flying
does anybody care i'm lost at sea?

If I were a littler braver
I would surrender to the sea
ironic that my fear and weakness
are the only things left that are saving me

CHORUS
CHORUS
