Down at the Bottom by The Workday Release Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I’ve tried so hard a thousand times to cross the river
My legs give out, I’m swept away, into the deep
I force myself to try again but every time I drown
I feel the weight, I start to bend
[Chorus]
And who am I to think that I
Could survive in the water, survive in the water?
I sink down, down, down to the bottom
And I shout but it’s quiet at the bottom
[Verse 2]
Come greet the dark, forget the light
I hear them whisper
“It’s peaceful here, no dreams in sight, there is no failure”
“Just close your eyes and go to sleep”
“Let your breath go”
It’s all a lie they don’t believe
But I’m so tired
[Chorus]
And who am I to think that I
Could survive in the water, survive in the water?
I sink down, down, down to the bottom
And I shout but it’s quiet at the bottom
It’s quiet at the bottom
[Bridge]
Are we out of time or just too weak
Are we out of time or just too weak
Are we out of time or just too weak
To wake ourselves from a safer, from a safer sleep?
[Chorus]
And who am I to think that I
Could survive in the water, survive in the water?
I sink down, down, down to the bottom
And I shout but it’s quiet at the bottom
I’ve tried so hard a thousand times to cross the river
My legs give out, I’m swept away, into the deep
I force myself to try again but every time I drown
I feel the weight, I start to bend
[Chorus]
And who am I to think that I
Could survive in the water, survive in the water?
I sink down, down, down to the bottom
And I shout but it’s quiet at the bottom
[Verse 2]
Come greet the dark, forget the light
I hear them whisper
“It’s peaceful here, no dreams in sight, there is no failure”
“Just close your eyes and go to sleep”
“Let your breath go”
It’s all a lie they don’t believe
But I’m so tired
[Chorus]
And who am I to think that I
Could survive in the water, survive in the water?
I sink down, down, down to the bottom
And I shout but it’s quiet at the bottom
It’s quiet at the bottom
[Bridge]
Are we out of time or just too weak
Are we out of time or just too weak
Are we out of time or just too weak
To wake ourselves from a safer, from a safer sleep?
[Chorus]
And who am I to think that I
Could survive in the water, survive in the water?
I sink down, down, down to the bottom
And I shout but it’s quiet at the bottom
