lyrics

/verse/
well, my heart sinks like a stone
in the bottom of the ocean
and I am lost and alone
just going through the motions

well, I take a deep breath
I fill my chest and let it out
my lungs are empty
but my head is still filled with doubt

why do I feel so see through?
it's a feeling that I never get used to
I feel so cold in the dark night
I just wanna step into the sunlight

but I feel a storm
it's moving in
thunder crash
the howling winds
I can see the bright day
is getting dim

/chorus/
and these black clouds
are hanging over my head now
and these black thoughts
they're just pulling me down, down

and I said the sun stopped shining
can't seem to find that silver lining

the darkness is blinding
my lifeline just keeps unwinding

/verse/
I shout into the unknown
but nobody hears me
I guess it's me on my own
from now to infinity

well, something around me shifts
I feel a pressure change
and up becomes down
it all gets rearranged

why do I feel so see through?
it's a feeling that I never got used to
I feel so cold in the dark night
I just wanna step into the sunlight

but I feel a storm
it's moving in
the thunder crash
the howling winds
the bright day
is getting dim

/chorus/

/bridge/
and here I go again
I am sinking in
caught in the undertow
I'm letting go

I try to find my way
to those sunny days
that I used to know
so long ago

/chorus/

and ever since I was born they was over me
these black clouds are all I see
