Above Water

Lyrics: [Verse] Waves crash over my thoughts tonight Fighting through the darkness, trying to find the light Every breath feels like I'm sinking deeper down But I won't let these demons make me drown Maybe drowning wouldn't be so bad At least then I'd feel something I never had Peace of mind, peace of heart As the water tears my world apart [Pre-Chorus] They say the storm gets worse before the break My lungs are burning, but I'm still awake No lifeline in sight, but I've got to try [Chorus] I'm trying to keep my head above water Even when the current's are pulling harder I'm a survivor, not a martyr I'm keeping my head above water Through the thunder and the torture I'll be stronger than I was before [Verse 2] Memory's fading like smoke in the wind Trying to piece together where I've been Started from the bottom, now I'm barely floating But this ocean won't stop me from growing 3 AM and I'm still wide awake Staring at the ceiling, watching shadows break They say time heals but the clock just mocks me Every tick is a reminder of what my lady in black cost me [Bridge] Sometimes I wish I could just let go Let the tide take me where it wants to flow But something inside won't let me fade Got too much fight for an early grave [Chorus] Keep my head above water Even when the current's pulling harder I'm a survivor, not a martyr Keep my head above water Through the thunder and the torture I'll be stronger than I was before [Outro] Keep swimming, keep fighting Keep breathing, keep climbing Above water, above water I'll keep my head above water Written by: Conji Copyright 2026.
