You hold your every breath
But life is for the living
In the water
You feel that you should run
But where are you to hide
In the water

Against the tide we struggle
With the skin we're in, with the skin we're in
Against the tide we struggle
To keep our heads above the deep
And our hearts above the lie, above the lie

You vow your life and blood
But this is not our home
In the water
Our hope here's never found
Just try and keep your way
In the water

Against the tide we struggle
With the skin we're in, with the skin we're in
Against the tide we struggle
To keep our heads above the deep
And our hearts above the lie, above the lie

With who we are today
Could never make amends for what we've done
Tainted blood
His eyes, his eyes are full of love
Forgive them
Release them

Against the tide we struggle
With the skin we're in, with the skin we're in
Against the tide we struggle
To keep our heads above the deep
And our hearts above the lie, above the lie
