Buried beneath

I stand just in the dark*
And so is my heart
The weight of the world has covered me
I’m in over my head
Am i living or dead?
Can anyone hear me calling out
I’m calling out

Finally breaking to where you’re now
Its been such a long time
And I tried to live without, I’m suffocating
Need you to breathe
So reach down and pull me up, pull me up
Before I am buried beneath

I built this house on the shore
All I wanted was more
And i felt the sands start shifting
Saw the cracks in the walls
I painted over them all
I tried my best to just ignore
I can’t ignore

Finally breaking to where you’re now
Its been such a long time
And I tried to live without, I’m suffocating
Need you to breathe
So reach down and pull me up, pull me up
Before I am buried beneath

Thought i was climbing up
But it’s dragging me down
What’s sitting here with me
Thought i was alone
But it pulls me deeper
Now i can escape

Finally breaking to where you’re now
Its been such a long time
And I tried to live without, I’m suffocating
Need you to breathe
So reach down and pull me up, pull me up
Before I am buried beneath
