Sinking Under

The lights went out
I could see my own grave
"God help me now"
Is all that I could bear to say

Hands reaching from the floor
My body's laying lifeless, while my spirit sinks below
If I could find a way back
I promise, I would never take my life for granted anymore
And I can change (and I can change)

Oh, the price I've paid (price I've paid)
To learn a lesson
Is it too late
To find redemption?
Honestly, I'm afraid
Of the answer
I admit, I'm ashamed
I'm sinking under
I'm sinking under

I swear, I never thought I would go down this road again
But everywhere I turn, leads me back to the same destination
I've been selfish, I'm pathetic
I was afraid of the commitment
But I'm not hopeless, I'm not toxic
I have a heart, I have a conscience
Oh
I've gone off the deep end

Oh, the price I've paid (price I've paid)
To learn a lesson
Is it too late (too late)
To find redemption?
Honestly, I'm afraid (I'm afraid)
Of the answer
I admit, I'm ashamed (ashamed)
I'm sinking under

God, please help me now
I'm sinking under guilt
Will you pull me out?
You've been living in sin
The voice in my head says I'll never win
Tarnishing yourself with substances
Playing the victim's how you live with yourself

Oh, the price I've paid
To learn a lesson
Is it too late (too late)
To find redemption?
Honestly, I'm afraid (I'm afraid)
Of the answer
I admit, I'm ashamed (ashamed)
I'm sinking under
I'm sinking under
