Sinking Like a Stone
Maddison Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's cold and dark
I'm fighting with myself
Sometimes I wish
That I was someone else
I'm trying to fight
To swim against the tide
To sink to swim
Or should I just drown?
Am I alone?
There's no-one else around



To live to die
I'm running out of time
I've been places you'll never know
Hope you'll never go
Lost and faithless
And all alone, alone
So welcome to this hell, my friend
I'm living with a sin
The screams, the cries
The monsters from within
This place, I go
I hope you never know
Cause I been feeling low, you know
Been sinking like a stone
This place, I go
I hope you never know
A life, a lie
I'm running out of time
I've been sinking like a stone
I'm right, I'm wrong
It's burning in my chest
Been up, been down
Just trying to pretend
I've won the fight
I've made it out alive
I've been places you'll never know
Hope you'll never go
Lost and faithless
And all alone, alone
So welcome to this hell, my friend
I'm living with a sin
The screams, the cries
The monsters from within
This place, I go
I hope you never know
Cause I been feeling low, you know
Been sinking like a stone
This place, I go
I hope you never know
A life, a lie
I'm running out of time
I've been places you'll never know
Hope you'll never go
Lost and faithless
And all alone, alone
So welcome to this hell, my friend
I'm living with a sin
The screams, the cries
The monsters from within
This place, I go
I hope you never know
Cause I been feeling low, you know
Been sinking like a stone
This place, I go
I hope you never know
A life, a lie
I'm running out of time
I've been sinking like a...
