Strength to Survive

Lyrics

[Intro: Tim Lambesis] I see the pain you're drowning in I want more than anything To rescue you as you're sinking But you are forgetting You were already swimming Long before I was ever around [Verse 1: Tim Lambesis, Ryan Neff, Ryan Neff & Tim Lambesis] You've tread these waters many times before And always ended up on shore Now you've somehow started to believe (Your false belief) That I'm your only hope of not drowning Drowning [Chorus: Ryan Neff & Tim Lambesis, Ryan Neff, Tim Lambesis] I see the pain you're drowning in But I can't reach you I can't save you I feel the weight that makes you sink But I can't reach you Without being pulled in Drowning [Verse 2: Tim Lambesis, Ryan Neff, Ryan Neff & Tim Lambesis] Think back to a time before you felt lost Think back to a time it wasn't just us Now you've somehow started to believe (Your false belief) That I'm your only hope of not drowning Drowning [Chorus: Ryan Neff & Tim Lambesis, Ryan Neff] I see the pain you're drowning in But I can't reach you I can't save you I feel the weight that makes you sink But I can't reach you Without being pulled in [Breakdown: Tim Lambesis] I have nothing but false hope to give Drowning You had power then and you still do now Without chasing a savior who will never be found [Bridge 1: Tim Lambesis] I want more than anything To rescue you as you sink But now you're starting to see That you never needed me [Guitar Solo: Phil Sgrosso] [Bridge 2: Tim Lambesis] I'm not the one, who will save you I wish I could but I, am drowning too [Pre-Chorus: Ryan Neff] We're strong enough as soon as we believe We are the ones who choose our destiny Sinking, fading, drowning [Chorus: Ryan Neff & Tim Lambesis, Ryan Neff] I see the pain you're drowning in But I can't reach you I can't save you I feel the weight that makes you sink But I can't reach you Without being pulled in [Post-Chorus: Ryan Neff, Tim Lambesis] I see fear in your eyes (Despair, dismay, and doubt) Find your strength to survive Strength inside without being pulled in [Outro: Tim Lambesis] I am not the one who will save you I wish I could, but I'm drowning too
