Song Lyrics

"Desperate Times Desperate Measures"

by Underoath
Album: Anthology 1999-2013

I've been crawling around in the dark for a while
Sprawled out across the floor
Not collecting dust anymore
Define me a parasite
Define my host
Trapped beneath the floor
I slowly waste away

Now I pull my frail body into the chair
And look me in the face
Oh, disappointments, so disappointing

This may be my last one
It's gonna be good and hard
It might be a touch out of key a touch out of key

When this thing breaks
I will be you, you will be me
I'm afraid that this is really happening
Let's hope this is short lived and riddled with dizzy

Oh God, the noise!
Is ringing in my ear
It's so unclear
I hear them talking
But can't make out the words
Speak up
Speak clear
But can't make out the words
Speak up
Speak clear

God, where have I been
I'm terrible company
With zero apologies
God, where have I been(2x)

While I sink to the bottom
I'll sing out as it fills with water
I hope I've done enough

When this thing breaks
I will be you, you will be me
Let's hope this is short lived and riddled with dizzy
I'm afraid that this is really happening

I'm worn out
I'm worn thin
I will never break through(2x)(where have I been)

Let me out(3x)
