| It starts simply, nice and slow |
| But the current grows so quickly |
| Skipping stones I didn’t throw |
| You’re sinking beneath me |
| I try my best to pull you in |
| I’m kicking and screaming, you slip |
| And I wake up in a sweat |
| To see you’re next to me |
| Still quietly in bed |
| I know I’ll fail you again |
| I’ve got this weight on my chest |
| Just dying to breathe |
| I know I’ll fail you again |
| I feel that hand at my neck |
| And it’s only a dream |
| But I know I’ll fail you again |
| The worst is it happens twice every time |
| How perfect |
| I’m terrified, ever violent sequence |
| Repeating before my eyes |
| This can’t be right |
| I’m speechless and weakened |
| And when it ends I wake up in a sweat |
| To see you’re next to me |
| Still quietly in bed |
| I know I’ll fail you again |
| I’ve got this weight on my chest |
| Just dying to breathe |
| I know I’ll fail you again |
| I feel that hand at my neck |
| And it’s only a dream |
| I’m afraid to sleep at night |
| 'Cause every time I close my eyes I’m fighting |
| So get me out, get me out |
| Cut me open, bleed me dry |
| I’d rather that than have to see you crying |
| Get me out, just get me out |
| Of all these dreams you die in |
| I know I’ll fail you again |
| I’ve got this weight on my chest |
| Just dying to breathe |
| I know I’ll fail you again |
| I feel that hand at my neck |
| And it’s only a dream |
| And now I’m afraid to sleep at night |
| 'Cause every time I close my eyes |
| I’ll fail you again |
| I feel that hand at my neck |
| And it’s only a dream |
| And I know I’ll fail you again |
