i'm breaking down like water
trying to push through all this dirt
my life, an empty ocean
nothing can wipe out all this hurt
i'm going down like the fire
slowly burning this rusted skin
i need to shed, to become
first must suffer to ease my sin
never know where the river flows, until it's gone dry
never tell me where i'm going, until i get there
never die without living, we all just live to die
what comes up must come down
maybe that's why i'm so low
when the desperation sets in
i feel i'm drowning, i can't reach heaven
i'm so far below now, but still i'm level
i can fall apart, but still stay together
i can come to you, but be there never
when the desperation sets in
