sinking

while the water rises

in a stream

helpless

as my indecision's

drowning me



tripping

over things that i should

clearly see

speechless

when a word would save me

it's words i fear



if i falter

would you help me make it right

if i run for shelter

will you hold me for the night

if i trust you

will it help me see the light

i've lived my life alone

i've learned my lesson



reaching

out to no one who can

give me help

feeling

for the candle as i

burn myself



if i falter

would you help me make it right

if i run for shelter

will you hold me for the night

if i trust you

will it help me see the light

i've lived my life alone

i've learned my lesson



i've learned my lesson



stop and overcompensate

for all the times

that you've been afraid

the world's become a conversation

close the door

somebody just might hear you

never break the silence

never break the law

never let them in

it seems so complicated

it's not all us
