Counterproductive - Saltwater Baptism Lyrics

Wanting to be free from the frenzy
Repetition 'til I'm insane
Lock me up in a straight jacket
'Til I learn to smile through pain

Every night found in a new gutter
Every day I reached a new low
Who I asked will save me from the motion
Every time I push the world pulls

Waves crash down on tideless beaches
Structures tearing me to pieces
Talk about leaps of faith
I step out onto the water
Faithlessly my steps falter
Give me something to hold onto

Ignorant of the higher graces
Bootstraps deadly with lead
I became acquainted with the places
Dark enough to hide my shame

Quickly I descended into madness
Killing wholly who I should be
Thoughts ran quickly, my manic sadness
Only wanting to break free

Waves crash down on tideless beaches
Structures tearing me to pieces
Talk about leaps of faith
Saved by the breadth of his consolation
Saved from the breadth of my desolation
Give me something to hold onto

Waves crash down on tideless beaches
Structures tearing me to pieces
Talk about leaps of faith
I stepped out onto the water
Faithlessly my steps falter

Now I see the roots of the madness
Soaked in blood so holy it feigns
Sweetness doused in a flames so righteous
That of which I never have seen

Lost was I without you, truly
Can't quite find the words to describe
Pain I came to know as existence
'Twas by self sacrifice revived
