  • Break through the undertow
    Your hands I can't seem to find
    Pollution burns my tongue
    Cough words I can't speak so I stall myself again, then I fall to the surface
    Fill my lungs with air
    Then let it out

    I give it all
    This is the reason that I sing
    So give it all
    Cause it's these reasons that belong to me

    Rock bottom's where we live
    And still we dig these trenches
    Bury ourselves in them
    Backs breaking on the tension

    For far too long these voices
    Muffled by distances
    It's time to come to our senses
    And from the dark

    We give it all
    This is the reason why I sing
    So give it all
    It's these reasons that belong to me

    Breathe, the air we give
    The life we live
    Our voices raising distances
    So when my tongue
    Break into song
    You seize a competition

    So please believe your eyes
    Of sacrifice
    Is not what we had in our minds
    I'm coming home tonight, home tonight

    We give it all
    This is the reason why I sing
    So give it all
    It's these reasons that belong to me

    Today I offer up myself to this I'm living for my dying wish
    I give it all
    Now there's a reason, there's a reason
    To give it all Writer/s: Brandon Barnes, Christopher Chasse, Joseph Principe, Timothy Mcilrath
