I locked myself in so long ago
I swallowed the keys, they turned my stomach to stone
I know the tides will rise again
And I will be standing here, waiting
Please save me from here
Can you hear, the waves are coming in
Cause I'll be standing on the ground
No matter how deep I sink I won't leave on my own
And once the water has reached my chin
I won't beg for help again
It's better this way
'Cause it's always been like this
Explanations won't lead anywhere
Take my hand, I promised you I won't change
It's better this way 'cause it's always been like this
I will keep holding on to a mask
In a matter of self-protection we hide in a shell
To keep every impact from our soul
At first we feel invincible, but once the waves come rolling in
It turns out we can't move
It turns out that we can't move
Once the water has reached my chin
I won't beg for help again
Expressing your emotions is a knife against my skin
I feel it breaking in and I never learned to swim
Helpless
Can you hear the waves are coming in
And once the water has reached my chin
I won't beg for help again
