Sink Or Swim
off "Wake Me When It's Over"

Flip the switch
Don't tell me you're not listening
The sound, it echoes through your mind again
Persuading all you hear
You turn to walk away
Has someone come and knocked you off your soapbox again
And now you can't stand tall enough to yell
That you've got something left for you to say

You stayed in one place for so long
Trying to keep your head above water
Just dive in
We'll see if you sink or swim

I can see
That you're the one they've hated for so long
And I don't wanna be a part of your life anymore
That is my choice
I'm not here to tell you anything
But only that the things you believe
Will never put you over someone else

You stayed in one place for so long
Trying to keep your head above water
Just dive in
We'll see if you sink or swim

I don't do what I think will make me look good
I do what I think is right
If that compromises your "morals" so be it
And if that puts me on a platform
For you to knock down
If it makes you feel any better
Go on and take your best shot
