Head Above Water
Theory of a Deadman Lyrics

Did you ever picture life like this
Have you ever imagined your life to be this way?

No shooting star to grant your wish
There's no magic or easy solution to your problems.

Are you everything you hoped you'd be
Are you the person you envisioned yourself to be?

I got somewhere in between
But in reality, you're somewhere in the middle.

You dropped your miracle down a wishing well
You've wished for a miracle and thrown it into a well.

And prayed for luck to cast its spell
You've hoped for luck to come and save you.

To bring you closer to your dreams
To bring you closer to achieving your desires.

That always seem just out of reach
But it always seems like you can't quite get there.

You pray to God, don't know when
You pray for help from a higher power.

But you feel the current pull you in
You feel the overwhelming force of your situation pulling you down.

You try to keep your head above water
You're struggling to stay afloat amidst your problems.

It's never been harder
This is the toughest it's ever been for you.

Even when it feels hopeless
Even when it seems like there's no way out.

You're gonna get through this
You will overcome your struggles.

Head above water
Keep your head up and stay afloat.

Gotta fight from going under
You need to fight against being drowned by your challenges.

Even when it feels useless to wish
Even if wishing seems pointless.

Have you ever felt like giving in
Have you ever felt like giving up?

Tried for hours but just can't win
Have you tried your best but still can't succeed?

Tell yourself you're not good enough
Do you believe that you're not capable?

The struggle alone is just too much
The fight is too difficult to handle on your own.

No one's there to hear you scream
You feel like you're going through this alone and unheard.

You gasp for air but cannot breathe
You feel suffocated and hopeless in your situation.

Did you ever think you'd see the day
Have you ever imagined that it could come to this?

When you'd watch your life get washed away
When you feel like your life is falling apart and getting worse.

Did it ever hurt so bad
Has it ever been this painful?

That the thought of feeling lost
That the thought of being lost and helpless.

Would never end
Seemed like it would never go away.

Well, you will think again
But, you will learn to think differently in time.

Your head above water, never been harder
It's difficult to keep a clear head and stay afloat during hard times.

Tryin' to keep your head above water
Struggling to maintain control and not let your problems consume you.

Has never been harder
It's particularly difficult at this point in your life.

You're gonna get through this
But regardless of how hard this is, remember that you will make it out okay.
