Riptides - Almost, Maine

Call me out, 'cause I’m no captain

Although I get the feel I’m sinking with the mention

Of losing touch, of losing my head

Of being dragged beneath the surface of apprehension

Oh, but now

I’m broken down and beaten up

Gasping for air and finding none

Fatigued from all the fights I’ve fought alone

Help me

Keep my eyes above the waves because

The riptide’s just as violent as the storm inside my brain

And I’m begging you to help me

Be the calming wind that saves because

I’m running of options, slowly drowning from the pain

Cast away, but not forgotten

Lost among the waves, currents of commotion

I’ll find a way, call it self-devotion

Back to where my footprints washed into the ocean

But for now

I’m broken down and beaten up

Straining for help and finding none

I’m over fighting this all on my own

Help me

Keep my eyes above the waves because

The riptide’s just as violent as the storm inside my brain

And I’m begging you to help me

Be the calming wind that saves because

I’m running of options, slowly drowning from the pain

And it’s not how hard the waves crash, but getting up

It’s not like treading water saved anyone

And I won’t be the one who’s left behind

Because it’s not how hard the waves crash, but getting up

It’s not like treading water saved anyone

And I can’t seem to find a way out of the open

And into something I won’t sink in

Help me

Keep my eyes above the waves because

The riptide’s just as violent as the storm inside my brain

Help me

Keep my eyes above the waves because

The riptide’s just as violent as the storm inside my brain

And I’m begging you to help me

Be the calming wind that saves because

I’m running of options, slowly drowning from the pain

And I know I’ll come out so much stronger

I’ll grow through all the pain
