As I Lay Dying - Strength To Survive Lyrics

As I Lay Dying - Strength To Survive Lyrics 

I see the pain you're drowning in

I want more than anything

To rescue you as you're sinking

But you are forgetting

You were already swimming

Long ago I was always around

You've tread these waters many times before

And always ended up on the shore

Now you've somehow started to believe

(Your false belief)

That I'm your only hope of not drowning

Drowning

I see the pain you're drowning in

But I can't reach you

I can't save you

I feel the weight that makes you sink

But I can't reach you

Without being pulled in

Drowning

Think back to a time before you felt lost

Think back to a time it wasn't just us

Now you've somehow started to believe

(Your false belief)

That I'm your only hope of not drowning

Drowning

I see the pain you're drowning in

But I can't reach you

I can't save you

I feel the weight that makes you sink

But I can't reach you

Without being pulled in

I have nothing but false hope to give

Drowning

You had power then and you still do now

Without chasing a savior who will never be found

I want more than anything

To rescue you as you sink

But now you're starting to see

That you never needed me

I'm not the one, who will save you

I wish I could but I, am drowning too

We're strong enough as soon as we believe

We are the ones who choose our destiny

Sinking, fading, drowning

I see the pain you're drowning in

But I can't reach you

I can't save you

I feel the weight that makes you sink

But I can't reach you

Without being pulled in

I see fear in your eyes

(Despair, dismay, and doubt)

Find your strength to survive

Strength inside without being pulled

I am not the one who will save you

I wish I could, but I'm drowning too
