lyrics

Alive for the first time since I can’t remember when
Spent too much time pretending and holding it in
Expectations had me frozen still
Pushing the same old rock up that same damn hill

It’s time to sink or swim
At last my life begins
No more waiting in the goddamn fucking wings
Time to sink or swim

Patience's not a virtue but an excuse for standing still
No bonus reps and there’s no extra time to kill
We’re all in a free fall just a beat from hitting ground
If the options treading water than I think I’d rather drown

It’s time to sink or swim
At last my life begins
No more waiting in the goddamn fucking wings
Time to sink or swim

My life’s beating faster and time shorter by the day
Tired of bidding my time living in the grey
Ebb and flow back and forth with no specific goal in mind
Deaf dumb numb and sick of being blind

It’s time to sink or swim
At last my life begins
No more waiting in the goddamn fucking wings
Time to sink or swim

It’s time to sink or swim
At last my life begins
No more waiting in the goddamn fucking wings
Time to sink or swim

Last gasps are often the only one’s that count
Desperation cuts through the shadows of doubt
No time like the present to be all I’ve dreamt to be
No one better to live out my wildest dreams than me

It’s time to sink or swim
At last my life begins
No more waiting in the goddamn fucking wings
Time to sink or swim
