[bad word] so far, don't let me down.
You're pulling at my seams, I'm pointing out your schemes.
The time that's been wasted, [bad word] 
Can never be restored.
This angle of vision confuses decision,
And leaves me wanting more.

I'm trying to keep my soul alive.
--soul alive--
I tried to keep from drowning,
Drowning in my mind.

 [bad word] so far, I won't let you down.
I'm pulling at your seams, you're going to extremes.
Words I've misspoken are words that I choke on,
Can never be withdrawn.
Our dreams have been faded and now we're left jaded,
From what we both ignored.

I'm trying to keep my soul alive.
--soul alive--
I tried to keep from drowning,
Drowning in my mind.

Take this from me, take this from you.
Pick your battles.
Take this fight from me.
Choose your [bad word] 

I'm trying to keep my soul alive.
--soul alive--
I tried to keep from drowning,
Drowning in my mind.

I'm trying to keep my soul alive.
I tried to keep from drowning,
Drowning in my mind.
