It starts simply Nice and slow But the current grows so quickly Skipping stones I didn't throw You're sinking beneath me I try my best to pull you in I'm kicking and screaming, you slip And I wake up in a sweat To see you're next to me Still quietly in bed But I know I'll fail you again I've got this weight on my chest Just dying to breathe I know I'll fail you again And I feel that hand at my neck And it's only a dream But I know I'll fail you again The worst is It happens twice every time How perfect I'm terrified, ever violent sequence Repeating before my eyes This can't be right I'm speechless and weakened And when it ends I wake up in a sweat To see you're next to me Still quietly in bed But I know I'll fail you again I've got this weight on my chest Just dying to breathe I know I'll fail you again And I feel that hand at my neck And it's only a dream And I'm afraid to sleep at night 'Cause every time I close my eyes, I'm fighting So get me out, get me out Cut me open, bleed me dry I'd rather that than have to see you crying Get me out, just get me out Of all these dreams you die in But I know I'll fail you again I've got this weight on my chest Just dying to breathe I know I'll fail you again And I feel that hand at my neck And it's only a dream And now I'm afraid to sleep at night 'Cause every time I close my eyes I'll fail you again And I feel that hand at my neck And it's only a dream But I know I'll fail you again
