You hold your every breath 
 but life is for the living, in the water 
 you feel that you [bad word]  but where are you to hide  in the water.

 Against the tide we [bad word]  with the skin we’re in, the skin we’re in 
 against the tide we [bad word] 
 to keep our heads above the deep 
 our hearts above the lie. 

You vow your life and blood 
 but this is not our home  in the water 
 our hope here’s never found 
 just try and keep your way  in the water.

Against the tide we [bad word]  with the skin we’re in, the skin we’re in 
 against the tide we [bad word] 
 to keep our heads above the deep 
 our hearts above the lie.
 
 Who we are today 
 could never make amends for what we’ve one 
tainted blood 
 his eyes are full of love 
 forgive them – release them.

Against the tide we [bad word]  with the skin we’re in, the skin we’re in 
 against the tide we [bad word] 
 to keep our heads above the deep 
 our hearts above the lie.
