What would you give to keep your head above water?
What would you give to stay afloat?
These days are cold and the nights are long
I'd give everything just to see the sun
Broken blistered hands of mine
Everything that you touch turns into a blight
It plagues the earth, it plagues my mind
Won't you let me live?
Won't you let me die?
Won't you keep my head above water?
What if giving up is the right thing to do?
What if my hands weren't meant to take this weight?
What if my problems don't ever stay?
What if they come and go like the tide, crashing and heaving?
Even broken hands can heal and build
These plagues don't last forever
