[Verse 1]
The town, the misremembered streets
My eyes don't see the fiction that my soul is feeding me
Need, decay, I dream of somewhere safe
Where I can decompose and hide my other self away
Fear is all we can keep restrained
In the pressure of reality, everything is displaced
Seal it away and just try to make it through
But the air burns away in the heat of the verisimilitude

[Pre-Chorus]
Burn everything
Burn everything
Burn everything I am away
Everything I am must die here

[Chorus]
This is my time to destroy what I am
Or I'm going under
Every brand-new day is another new chance
To become that other girl
And the dreams that I have are lost in a stab
Of rolling thunder
And I'm going under
Somehow every day I lose it all
This is my time, and it's all that I have
But I'm losing focus
Every brand-new day is another new scab
But I just can't show it
And the fears that I am are the things that last
And the wires that choke us
Can they hold us, hold us?
Am I going under?
[Verse 2]
Do we know
What we can become?
The years we spent in purgatory
Staring at the sun
Is this all we have?
Will we ever know ourselves?
We can not go back

[Pre-Chorus]
Burn everything
Burn everything
Burn everything I am away
Everything I am must die here

[Chorus]
This is my time to destroy what I am
Or I'm going under
Every brand-new day is another new chance
To become that other girl
And the dreams that I have are lost in a stab
Of rolling thunder
And I'm going under
Somehow every day I lose it all

[Bridge]
Can you lie?
Can you look behind my eyes
Tell me everything is fine?
We have all the time in the world
To make things right
(And I'm going under now)
[Chorus]
This is my time, and it's all that I have
But I'm losing focus
Every brand-new day is another new scab
But I just can't show it
And the fears that I am are the things that last
And the wires that choke us
Can they hold us, hold us?
Am I going under?

[Post-Chorus]
Every day I just keep falling
Am I going under?
Every day, every day
I'm going under
Life underneath the waves
