Swimming Against The Tide

*instrumental intro*

[verse] I’m always running, chasing, looking for the high. Trading moment after moment hoping to see the reason why. Pedal to the floor missing every exit, eyes peeled for that full glass to catch it

[bridge] the glass was always half full, never filled, yeah life it hands you a bitter pill. It’s good enough, don’t call the bluff, nobody gets to drink their fill

[pre-chorus] you pray for it all, swear that you’ll find a glass that’s full, then lie to yourself and take your half full glass and be damn grateful

[chorus] I can’t take it, where is my pride? every single day always wondering why

I can’t take it, just let me die! Every breath every morning feels like swimming against the tide!

*scream* Swimming against the tide!

[verse] I’m tired of settling, telling myself to stop wondering, this is all that I deserve, life is nothing but fighting the surf. I swear that glass is half full, not empty, I swear that glass is all that I can ever be

[pre-chorus] you pray for it all, swear that you’ll find a glass that’s full, then lie to yourself and take your half full glass and be damn grateful

[chorus] I can’t take it, where is my pride? every single day always wondering why

I can’t take it, just let me die! Every breath every morning feels like swimming against the tide!

*scream* Swimming against the tide!

*scream* I’m drowning!

Turns out the glass was half empty after all, turns out the glass was a fucking lie ten feet tall, turns out the glass was never enough but through the half that was full you could never see. Don’t settle for less than happy.

Fuck you and your half full glass, because happy enough isn’t happy at all! Fuck you I’m done giving up, I deserve more I’m walking out the door
