The Amity Affliction - Let the Ocean Take Me Album Lyrics

I've been searching for an exit, but I'm lost inside my head;
Where I spend every waking moment wishing I was dead.
For a few minutes get me away from here,
For a few minutes (wipe away) wipe away my tears.
For I am lost right now as the ocean deep;
I am low my friend and how my heart does sink.
Yeah I am lost right now as the ocean deep;
I am low my friend and how my heart does sink.

It's like there's cancer in my blood,
It's like there's water in my lungs,
And I can't take another step,
Please tell me I am not undone.
It's like there's fire in my skin
And I'm drowning from within -
I can't take another breath,
Please tell me I am not undone.

I've been searching for an exit but I'm lost inside my head;
Where I spend every waking moment wishing this would end.
I can't take another step, I cannot live inside my mind,
I can't face another day, I am so f*cking tired.
For I am lost right now as the ocean deep,
I am low my friend and how my heart does sink.
Yeah I am lost right now as the ocean deep,
I am low my friend and how my heart does sink.

It's like there's cancer in my blood,
It's like there's water in my lungs
And I can't take another step -
Please tell me I am not undone.
It's like there's fire in my skin
And I'm drowning from within.
I can't take another breath -
Please tell me I am not undone.

I've been searching for an exit but I'm lost inside my head;
Where I spend every waking moment, wishing I was dead.
I'll take another step for you -
I'll shed my tears until I drown, or until I am underground.
I'll take another breath for you...
Will you still be there when I'm home, out from the great unknown?

[2x]
It's like there's cancer in my blood,
It's like there's water in my lungs,
And I can't take another step -
Please tell me I am not undone.
It's like there's fire in my skin
And I'm drowning from within.
I can't take another breath -
Please tell me I am not undone.

So young, heartbroken, daydreaming, lost focus
Weaker than you've ever been
Counting on a fading dream
The ocean gleaming emerald green
The saddest thing you've ever seen
Your feet stuck in the sinking sand
Your mind is reeling, shaky hands
Tears are streaming, sorrow calls
With no one there to break your fall

I'm lost and fading, life ain't great
My heart is breaking and life won't wait
There's no one there, no one around
There's not a soul and not a sound

So f*cking young, heartbroken, daydreaming, lost focus
A weary soul, no truth to find
They were so lost where was your goodbye?
Your feet stuck in the sinking sand
Your mind is reeling, shaky hands
Tears are streaming, sorrow calls
With no one there to break your fall

I'm lost and fading, life ain't great
My heart is breaking and life won't wait
There's no one there, no one around
There's not a soul and not a sound

You've searched your soul for far too long
Your friend was lost, you carry on
You bear the burden of sorrow's past
But you were built, you were built to f*cking last
You were built to last

I'm fading fast, out in the cold unknown
All sorrow here, so far from home
So far from home

I'm lost and fading, life ain't great
My heart is breaking and life won't wait
There's no one there, no one around
There's not a soul and not a sound

I'm lost and fading, life ain't great
My heart is breaking and life won't wait
There's no one there, no one around
There's not a soul and not a sound
No one around, and not a sound
No one around, and not a sound

Let the ocean take me...

You've gotta know kid that it ain't easy.
To take on all of your grieving, yeah you gotta believe me.

[Chorus:]
Well don't lean on me 'cause I am falling, please don't fall with me.
I really need you here, yeah I need you so don't leave.
And don't count on me 'cause I am drowning, please don't drown with me.
Just hold me in your heart, let the ocean take me.

And you think I don't read every message that you send?
You think I turn a blind eye, you think I'm just like them?
It breaks my heart, all these stories, brings me to tears all this grief;
And I feel so f*cking helpless when I can't be your relief.

[Chorus:]
Well don't lean on me 'cause I am falling, please don't fall with me.
I really need you here, yeah I need you so don't leave.
And don't count on me 'cause I am drowning, please don't drown with me.
Just hold me in your heart, let the ocean take me.

There is hope in my eyes, there is hope in these words.
And there are far too many reasons for you to stay here on this earth. Stay with me.

[Chorus:]
Well don't lean on me 'cause I am falling, please don't fall with me.
I really need you here, yeah I need you so don't leave.
And don't count on me 'cause I am drowning,
Please don't drown with me. Just hold me in your heart,
Let the ocean take me. (oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh) Yeah.
Let the ocean take me. (oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh) Yeah.
Let the ocean take me

Weighed down
Weighed down on the way down

I've lived behind a mask so long, so few know who I am
They know other sides of me that hide behind a haunted man

Though my hands are made of stone
And I break everything I see
They've saved me from myself
And they stand by me

Weighed down on the way down
I need someone to take my hand
It feels like I can't breathe
And I might drown on the way down
I'm sick of all the comedowns
Don't tell me that there's nothing wrong
I'm weighed down, way down

I'll fight fatigue, I'll fight for you
For everything that we've been through
I'll take your hand, I'll carry on
I've been weighed down for far too long

Though my hands are made of stone
And I break everything I see
They save me from myself
And they stand by me, stand by me

Weighed down on the way down
I need someone to take my hand
It feels like I can't breathe
And I might drown on the way down
I'm sick of all the comedowns
Don't tell me that there's nothing wrong
I'm weighed down, way down

I won't be weighed down
There's too much resting on this
Never be weighed down
I'll f*cking stand and resist

Weighed down on the way down
I need someone to take my hand
It feels like I can't breathe
And I might drown on the way down
I'm sick of all the comedowns
Don't tell me that there's nothing wrong
I'm weighed down on the way down

I need someone to take my hand
I feel like I can't breathe
And I might drown on the way down
I'm sick of all the comedowns
Don't tell me that there's nothing wrong
I'm weighed down, way down

We struggle to our feet
We all yearn to be free
We fight and we're weak
We all come out and grieve

This goddamn life is our disease
But we can't always f*cking win
We can always turn the tide
We can all stand up and sing 'never alone'

We fight together, not alone
No matter where our bodies roam
This place is now what we call home

Never alone, never apart
We found each other in the dark
Shed our tears and fight our fears
We are one, the lonely hearts

Never alone, never apart
We found each other in the dark
Shed our tears and fight our fears
We are one, the lonely hearts

Listen, always...
We'll be drowning in our grave
Are we can't stand for ourselves
We have to stay afloat
(We struggle to breathe)

With the word that we try to believe
When I lost my home and find my way home
We can always turn the tide
And we get lost and not be blind, never alone

We fight together, not alone
No matter where our bodies roam
(This place is not away from home)
We are never, ever alone

Never alone, never apart
We found each other in the dark
Shed our tears and fight our fears
We are one, the lonely hearts

Never alone, never apart
We found each other in the dark
Shed our tears and fight our fears
We are one, the lonely hearts

We are not lost here together
We are not lost anymore
We'll turn the tide, we'll calm the storm
We are ready for war [3x]
We are not lost here together
We are not lost anymore

Never alone, never apart
We found each other in the dark
Shed our tears and fight our fears
We are one, the lonely hearts

Never alone, never apart
We found each other in the dark
Shed our tears and fight our fears
We are one, the lonely hearts

(Hello? Are you there? Listening? I'm just trying to get in touch man. I've been so f*cking, so f*cking down lately. Like, I don't know what's happening. I'm just so tired all the time. Trying to sleep. I just, I just lay there quiet. Can't speak cause everyone around me is passed out. My f*cking mind's raging. Uh, hello? I don't even know why I called. I think it, I think it might be time for me to leave. Just call it quits. I'm sick of this. It's the same f*cking day, every day. I think I sleep, I can't be sure though. It's all the same now. Drink, drink, drink again. I'm tired man. I think it, you don't want to hear this. I'm a mess. I'm sorry man. I just don't know who to turn to. No one really hears me, you know? I speak, at least I think I speak, but no one hears me. I've said enough. Hello? Hello? I shouldn't have called.)

I held death's head this evening
Can't keep my heart from beating
Can't keep my throat from screaming
There has to be another way for me to keep on living

I held death's head this evening
Closed mind and still I'm breathing
Promise I won't leave here
Don't let me die I'm f*cking screaming

'Cause I've got more life left to live (Got some promises to keep)
To all the hearts that carried me (Up from the ocean deep)
I've had to do some searching to understand our reasons
For every selfish feeling (I held death's hand this evening)

Now my looks are failing
And my heart is fading
My life is taking me
So far away I'm dreaming
For every selfish reason
I've got the part of training
I poured my heart out
Just so you'll believe me

I held death's head this evening
Closed mind and still I'm breathing
Promise I won't leave here
Don't let me die I'm f*cking screaming

'Cause I've got more life left to live (Got some promises to keep)
To all the hearts that carry me (Up from the ocean deep)
I've had to do some searching to understand our reasons
For every selfish feeling (I held death's hand this evening)

You're the ones that kept me going
I owe you this much
You gave me the strength to say
Hey Death, get f*cked!

You're the ones that kept me going
I owe you this much
You gave me the strength to say
Hey Death, get f*cked!

Now my looks are failing
And my heart is fading
My life is taking me
So far away I'm dreaming
Now my looks are failing
And my heart is fading
My life is taking me

There are parts of me
That have been lost at sea
I feel a constant pain, into eternity
Walk with my head down low
Into calamity
With arms outstretched
Will someone, someone, someone save me?

I am a sinking ship
I am the anchor's deep
Sent to the ocean floor
In an eternal sleep
My heart is heavy, stone
My body, brittle bones
My mind, an endless storm
Out in the cold unknown

'Cause I've got to find my light again
My heart is beating fast
When will this ever end?
Can I find my way back home again?
This road I travel on
It never seems to end

I ain't a hollow shell no more
I'm at the ocean floor, I'm at the ocean floor
My lungs are having [?]
Oh.
My lungs are screaming out
My lungs are having [?]

I am a sinking ship
I am the anchor's deep
Sent to the ocean floor
In an eternal sleep
My heart is heavy, stone
My body, brittle bones
My mind, an endless storm
Out in the cold unknown

'Cause I've got to find my light again
My heart is beating fast
When will this ever end?
Can I find my way back home again?
This road I travel on
It never seems to end

And once again you get back
And you rescued me
And I promised you that
I promised you that I'd melt
I promised you that I'd melt
My lungs are having [?]
Oh
Life is a failing questioning
And this is thanks to you my friend

'Cause I've got to find my light again
My heart is beating fast
When will this ever end?
Can I find my way back home again?
This road I travel on
It never seems to end
'Cause I've got to find my light again
My heart is beating fast
When will this ever end?
Can I find my way back home again?
This road I travel on
It never seems to end

I am my father's son,
I am my fathers mistakes.
I'm easily undone and I'm no stranger to rage,
I am no stranger to rage
I am no stranger to rage

I built the bars out of bottles,
Drowned myself just to escape.
I am my father's son,
I am my father's mistakes.
And I'm ashamed of myself,
I just want our of this place,
This f*cking hell I've created,
I can't seem to escape.

I had to learn for myself,
The fastest way to my death,
So I could follow his footsteps to my hospital bed.

All my life I have been trying to understand myself,
It seems like my own reflection is just somebody else.
It's taken years to know my father courses through my veins,
And though I never knew him it turns out we're the same.

I am no stranger to rage.

I am my father's son,
Won't make my fathers mistakes.
I've crept through shadows and alleys,
Found my home on the streets.

I've felt the cold glare of strangers,
As they passed over me.
I never figured I'd turn out to be such a disgrace,
But I'm my fathers son,
The sum of all his mistakes.

I had to learn for myself,
The fastest way to my death,
So I could follow his footsteps to my hospital bed.

All my life I have been trying to understand myself,
It seems like my own reflection is just somebody else.
It's taken years to know my father courses through my veins,
And though I never knew him it turns out we're the same.

I am no stranger to rage.
(And though I never knew him it turns out we're the same)
(And though I never knew him it turns out we're the same)

I am my father's son
I am my father's son
I am my father's son
Won't make my fathers mistakes.

I am my father's son
I am my father's son
I am my father's son
I am my father's son

I'm standing by the riverside
Dreaming, oh come save me now
I'm feeling like I can't escape
Screaming, love come pull me out

All this darkness inside me
Well, I'm the creator of this loneliness I feel, I'm the creator
The earth heats inside of me
And there's forest set to light
So this passion can burn!

Like a forest fire
It burns like a forest fire

Lost in a winter storm like wolves
With no stars to use as guides.

We're still breathing, we're the lucky ones
The weeping willows turn the banks
Where the rivers used to run
So still sway with the breeze
But don't fall down to your knees

I'm standing by the riverside
And I'm dreaming, oh come save me now
I'm feeling like I can't escape
And I'm screaming, love come pull me out

We've lived in shadows now
For far too f*cking long
Pull the wool from your eyes
Throw the darkness away
We wont exist on your grounds
For the rest of our days

We're still breathing, we're the lucky ones
The weeping willows turn the banks
Where the rivers used to run
So still sway with the breeze
But don't fall down to your knees

I'm standing by the riverside
And I'm dreaming, oh come save me now
I'm feeling like I can't escape
And I'm screaming, love come pull me out

I'm standing by the riverside
And I'm dreaming, oh come save me now
I'm feeling like I can't escape
And I'm screaming, love come pull me out

All this darkness inside me
Well, I'm the creator of this loneliness I feel, I'm the creator
The earth heats inside of me
And there's a forest set to light
So this passion can burn

Like a forest fire
It burns like a forest fire
It burns like a forest fire
It burns like a forest fire

Just take it all, my heart, my mind, my every word from out of my lungs.
My every breath and every thought, and every word I've ever sung.
And though I'm glad to help you out, and get your feet back on the ground,
please understand I'm just a man - you understand? I'm just a man.

And I feel helpless when I stumble, and my anxiety escapes;
I lose all hope and I'm afraid that once again I've lost my place.

I give it all, and when I fall, I get up and give some more.
Until there's nothing left of me - just some bones stacked on the floor.

But every song's a two way street, I give to you, you give to me.
And as long as that remains I will still haul my heavy feet.
Because you're all worth every word, and yeah you're all here in my heart.
And I know we can sing together to avoid falling apart.

I give it all, and when I fall, I get up and give some more.
Until there's nothing left of me - just some bones stacked on the floor.

At the end of everything, this is for you, this is for me.
Your fight to overcome defeat has set the skies alight for me.

I give it all, and when I fall, I get up and give some more.
Until there's nothing left of me - just some bones stacked on the floor.
