Underwater
Skies Collide Lyrics

Another year has passed
Time has passed and a new year has begun

I feel alive inside my head at last
Finally, I feel alive and in control in my mind

And we are not running from
We are not avoiding or hiding from our problems

When another doubt is cast
When someone or something makes me doubt myself

Just like the shadow
Similar to a shadow, which follows and reflects us

Over my own confidence
Over my self-assurance and belief in myself

You never stop believing in
I will continue to have faith in myself and my abilities

Break the cycle in my head
Stop the repetitive negative thoughts in my mind

This dead skin I will shed
I will let go of my old ways and behaviors

Here I am anew
I am reborn, with a fresh start

I'm trying to breathe underwater
I'm trying to survive in a difficult or impossible situation

And I won't let myself swim
Despite the odds, I won't give up or take an easier way out

I'm trying to live without borders
I want to live freely, without any limitations or restrictions

But I'm caging myself in
However, I'm preventing myself from doing so due to my own fears or doubts

Inside these walls I swore
Within my own boundaries, I made a promise

To never let them win
To never allow my fears or doubts to control me

Now I accept
Now I acknowledge and understand

That it was never meant to be perfect
That perfection is not always possible, nor necessary

Please bring me back
Please remind me of my goals and values

If I get lost again
If I lose my way or struggle again in the future

So when I am underwater
So when I face difficult situations or circumstances

I won't breathe in
I won't allow myself to be consumed by my fears and doubts
