[Verse 1]
Tepid waves
Of trepidation covering me
As if to provide
A moment of clarity

[Pre-Chorus 1]
What lies ahead
Is it another unfolding travesty again?
I'm searching for substance
But I don't even fit into my own skin

[Chorus]
You spoke of a world full of purpose
As I choked down every single lie
'Til I sank all the way to the bottom
With a heavy heart like an anchor deep inside

[Post-Chorus]
And it's dragging me down
Down, down, down

[Verse 2]
You state your case
But the words fall like broken mirrors
And shifting the blame
Won't provide another place to hide
[Pre-Chorus 2]
What lies ahead
Is it another misguided, sad, and failed attempt?
I'm searching for anything
But I haven't even seen the sun in days

[Chorus]
You spoke of a world full of purpose
As I choked down every single lie
'Til I sank all the way to the bottom
With a heavy heart like an anchor deep inside
You spoke of a world full of purpose
As I choked down every single lie
'Til I sank all the way to the bottom
With a heavy heart like an anchor deep inside

[Post-Chorus]
And it's dragging me down
Down, down, down
