Fruity Lexia - The Amity Affliction

It’s not for lack of percipience that I turned my back

It’s just that I’ve become so absent from my own train of thought

I’m only just treading water

I’m only just treading water

It’s not for lack of faith in what was shared that I had to leave

It’s just that I’ve lost track of all the things you said

And I’m only just treading water

Just holding my head above the surface

I’m only just treading water

But it’s starting to seep in

A breath to wake me

Like the shock of falling as you drift away

I’m just not able to take it all in

I’m only just treading water

But it’s starting to seep in

I’m not saying there’s any one, any one thing

That’s left me floating in the breeze

Or that the Earth has pulled me in

I’m just not where I should be

I’ve lost track of my own train of thought

And if the venom spills like turgid wine

From the mouth to which I belong, forgive me

I’m only just treading water

I’m only just above the surface of what I’ve become

With sleep confined to rotten dreams

I’m only just treading water

But it’s starting to seep in

A breath to wake me

Like the shock of falling as you drift away

It’s all that keeps me here

I’m only just treading water

But it’s starting to seep in
