(Spoken)
Yea
Alright
Let's do this
(Sung)
The waters rising
Higher than I can reach
My lungs are failing
Breath is something I can't keep
As I fade away (There's nothing left to save)
As my spirit dies (I'm broken anyway)
I can see the light (Too far for me to reach)
Save me Please…
Cuz' I'm goin' through the motions
A shell of myself
Hide behind a mask
So nobody can tell
That I'm goin' through the motions
Poison clouds my mind
Memories are tainted
I fall to the pit
The light is fading
Darkness is my only friend
A wind is howling
The ground promises the end
As I fade away (There's nothing left to save)
As my spirit dies (I'm broken anyway)
I can see the light (Too far for me to reach)
Save me Please…
Cuz' I'm goin' through the motions
A shell of myself
Hide behind a mask
So nobody can tell
That I'm goin' though the motions
Wishing for the end
And all that I want
Is someone to save me
(Musical Break)
Cuz' I'm goin' through the motions
A shell of myself
Hide behind a mask
So nobody can tell
That I'm goin' though the motions
Wishing for the end
And all that I want
Is someone to save me
My knight in armor
He's hidden from my desperate gaze
My broken heart is
All that I will have left
As I fade away (I pick myself back up)
As my spirit dies (Time will heal me)
I can see the light (Just within my reach)
I'll save me
Cuz' I'm goin' through the motions
A shell of myself
Hide behind a mask
So nobody could tell
That I go through the motions
But get better everyday
I'll make myself happy
It'll all be Okay
Cuz' I'm goin' through the motions
A shell of myself
Hide behind a mask
So nobody can tell
That I'm goin' through the motions
Wishing for the end
And all that I want
Is someone to save me
