Well I've been treading water
It's getting harder and harder to breathe
The seas are getting darker
It's getting harder and harder to see
Well, we laughed til we cried
We cried til we laughed
Did you see the white light?
Did it all go to black?
It was a merciless end to an impeccable life
And I'd give up my life for one more moonlit night
And the pallbearers there, well, they shed a great tear
And the faultlines we tread, they were never quite clear
But, didn't you fight? Didn't you scream?
Didn't we dance? Didn't you dream?
It's all just a dream. But do we wake up?
And doesn't it feel like there's never enough
Oh, you can run, you can run
But you're goin nowhere
You can climb you can crawl
But you're already there
But oh. Lift your head to the light
Hold the light to your soul.
Well I've been treading water
It's getting harder and harder to breathe
Cuz they told you tales of triumph and treasure
And it's all been a lie
They gave you gold for your heartbeat
A prize for your pride
And the pallbearers there, well, they shed a great tear
And the faultlines we tread, they were never quite clear
But oh. Lift your head to the light
Hold the light to your soul.
Light shines light
Life. Breathe life.
Light shines light
Life. Breathe life.
