Up To Our Necks

14/1/11
This is all the way up to our necks now,
How the hell did it get so bad so fast?
I’ll swallow every drop to get it to ankle-deep,
At least I could walk a little step by step,

I feel my chest begin to tighten,
I feel the fear setting in,
I can tell there’s not long left now,
I will die well before my time
if I don’t stop saving everyone.

So this is up to your neck, not mine,
It’s just my hands that are reaching,
I don’t need to immerse myself once again,
At least one of us needs sanity.

I feel my chest begin to tighten,
I feel the fear setting in,
I can tell there’s not long left now,
I will die well before my time
if I don’t stop saving everyone.

But I held my breath again and I
dove headfirst again, and I pulled
your foot free and you floated towards
the surface, I stayed stuck in here,

I just didn’t care cause it meant you were free,
I would live forever down there if it meant
you’d be okay for a day, I just didn’t care
that the plant grabbed my leg and I’m
running out of breath.

I feel my chest begin to tighten,
I feel the fear setting in,
I can tell there’s not long left now,
I will die well before my time
‘cause I tried to save another one.
