Above Water

Above Water

Look at me, pitiful

Trying to see what's beautiful

Tell me that I've had enough

I've been broken to stand my ground

Smell the smoke in the air

Everybody's gathered there

Sometimes I wanna disappear

Maybe then I'll know I'm found

Cause nothing's quite like it seems

Caught up in turbulent seas

Gotta stay afloat

I was walking along

A narrow path few have roamed

Not a care

But trouble's everywhere

Fire persistent

I'm trying to listen

Give me the distance

I'll obey

Let me stay

Afloat

Let me breathe

Just one second

Keep me

Don't abandon

I know the depths of stranded

I'm still holding on
