It starts simply, nice and slow
But the current grows so quickly
Skipping stones I didn`t throw
You`re sinking beneath me
I try my best to pull you in
I`m kicking and screaming, you slip
And I wake up in a sweat

To see you`re next to me
Still quietly in bed

I know I`ll fail you again
I`ve got this weight on my chest
Just dying to breathe
I know I`ll fail you again
I feel that hand at my neck
And it`s only a dream
But I know I`ll fail you again

The worst is it happens twice every time
How perfect
I`m terrified, ever-violent sequence
Repeating before my eyes
This can`t be right
I`m speechless and weakened
And when it ends I wake up in a sweat

To see you`re next to me
Still quietly in bed

I know I`ll fail you again
I`ve got this weight on my chest
Just dying to breathe
I know I`ll fail you again
I feel that hand at my neck
And it`s only a dream

And I`m afraid to sleep at night
`Cause every time I close my eyes I`m fighting
So get me out, get me out
Cut me open, bleed me dry
I`d rather that than have to see you crying
Get me out, just get me out
Of all these dreams you die in

I know I`ll fail you again
I`ve got this weight on my chest
Just dying to breathe
I know I`ll fail you again
I feel that hand at my neck
And it`s only a dream

And now I`m afraid to sleep at night
`Cause every time I close my eyes
I`ll fail you again
I feel that hand at my neck
And it`s only a dream
And I know I`ll fail you again
