Lyrics for Every Single Line Means Something

And then it comes to me that every single line means something You see it's up to me to drag myself into the ocean And then you come to me You come to push down on our shoulders You say that 1 is 3 And no one makes it up and over And then you wonder why, Why everything falls And then you wonder why, Why everything falls And so you break your knees and still you crawl into the gutter I know exactly why but nothing cries without an utter And then you come to me You come to push down on our shoulders You say that 1 is 3 And no one makes it up and over And then you wonder why, Why everything falls And then you wonder why, Why everything falls And then it comes to me that every single line means something You see it's up to me to drag myself into the ocean And then you come to me You come to push down on our shoulders You say that 1 is 3 And no one makes it up and over And then you wonder why, Why everything falls And then you wonder why, Why everything falls There you are Here you lie Is this your cry? (Repeat x5)
