As I Drown - The Defiled

Fear has quickened the heartbeat

But we’re fiends wanting more

Who would ever believe

You’ve replenished the need

We’re still begging at your door

This is your cue to go

Yeah you should know

What this means to me

You’ve been dragging this out

Now, for way too long

It’s time to set me free

And I have tried my hardest

And you have beat me down

'cause it’s the same old situation

Pouring, water as I drown

And I have tried my hardest

And you have beat me down

Stepping over the threshold

To usher in new times

We’ve been running on vapours

But that won’t make us

Change our crooked lives

'cause now we’re moving on

We’re way too strong

We will wring you dry

You’ve been dragging this out

Now for way too long

It’s time to say goodbye

And I have tried my hardest

And you have beat me down

'cause it’s the same old situation

Pouring, water as I drown

And I have tried my hardest

And you have beat me down

Walking against wind-driven rain

Tangled in a blanket of your lies

You’re fucking killing me

And I have tried my hardest

And you have beat me down

'cause it’s the same old situation

Pouring, water as I drown

And I have tried my hardest

And you have beat me down
