I’ve been underwater so long 

That I must be aquatic. I must be aquatic

I’m forcing the lights to turn on.  

I just feel so robotic. I feel so robotic

I’ll tell you what I really need

For you to show up and love me or just fucking leave

I don’t know what’s worse when I breathe

The shortness of breath or a desire to scream?

 

And I’ve been doing a really good job

A really good job

A really good job not blowing my brains out

Cuz I’ve been having a really bad year 

A really bad year, but I’m still fucking here

 

Lately I’ve been going along

Something is broken but I keep pressing on

And the cracks they are starting to show

Feel my head underwater, but I won’t let go

 

And I’ve been doing a really good job

A really good job

A really good job not blowing my brains out

Cuz I’ve been having a really hard year 

A really hard year, but I’m still fucking here

 

And hey man, can I share the wealth? 

We’ll have a discussion about mental health

We’ll call it a sign of the times

It’s like everything’s burning

We all lose our minds

 

And I’ve been underwater so long

I’ve been underwater so long

I’ve been underwater so long

I’m coming from the water

 

And I’ve been doing a really good job

A really good job

A really good job not blowing my brains out

Cuz I’ve been having a really hard year 

A really hard year, but I’m still fucking here

 

And we’ve been doing a really good job

A really good job

A really good job not blowing our brains out

Yeah, we’ve been having a really hard year 

A really hard year, but we’re still fucking here

 

Yeah we’ve been underwater 

We’re gonna rise from the water

We’ve been underwater

We’re gonna rise from the water
