It’s not like I said it’s okay, but I’ve been a little fake
I'm holding myself like a brick upon a still lake
But I'm pretty round, and I wouldn’t drown
I didn’t know I could breathe when I am faced down

It’s not like I said it’s okay, but I like to stay away
'Cause sight out of mind is fine, I don’t like to make waves
In the shallow end, I never learned to swim
I’ll get the courage one day when I am faced down in open water

It’s not like I said it’s okay
It’s not like it’s just a game
It wouldn’t ruin the day to find that

I'm faced-down in open water never long enough
So hold me down in open water, it gives me such a rush
I'm holding onto weakness only as a ploy
'Cause nothing’s ever gonna change the way I feel when I destroy
