I know the fear of rejection's holding us in a cell
I think we need help, I mean that
Sometimes I can't fucking stand it, I'll go anywhere else
To be by myself

Seeing the tide rise
Throw me a lifeline
I don't know how to do this anymore

I'm drowning in dead water
There's something holding me down, tryna pull me under
I'm treading dead water now (dead water)
And it's pulling me, pulling me under

Even the best of intentions hardly grow into deeds
Good words come out mean, I hate that
In a paralysis we live in this terrible dream
Trying our hardest to scream save me

I'm drowning in dead water
There's something holding me down, tryna pull me under
I'm treading dead water now (dead water)
And it's pulling me, pulling me under

Seeing the tide rise
Fucking throw me a lifeline
I don't know how to do this anymore

One second calm and collected, next you're breaking my phone
I just fucking explode, I see that
Those angry voices from fighting like to follow us home
They never leave us alone, save me

I'm drowning in dead water
There's something holding me down, tryna pull me under
I'm treading dead water now (dead water)
And it's pulling me, pulling me under

Dead water
