SINKING

it's not my problem anymore
you see it never really was
so you can stop 'caring' as you call it
and I'll be fine right here

you see that I can play a pretty convincing role
so I don't need you, I don't think I need you

CHORUS:

but you see through my forever lies
and you are not believing
and I see in your forever eyes
that you are forever healing

you can't hear what I'm not saying
and I can hold out long enough
treading water I keep from sinking
i'm not one for reaching

you see that I can play a pretty convincing role
so I don't need you, I don't think I need you

[CHORUS]

deny myself, deny my heart
deny your hand, deny your help
and you offer me eternity
but why should I buy that?

you see that I can play a pretty convincing role
so I don't need you, I don't think I need you

[CHORUS x2]
