Sinking Lyrics by Godhead

2000 Years of Human Error

2001

[Verse: 1]
Standing in the back of the line
I feel the others try to push me down
And keep it away from me
Grabbing at the one thing that I know is mine
Can't you see me with my head to the floor
Feel the recklessness of absolute desperation
Valued sentimental pieces of
The life I thought I held in my hands

[Chorus:]
Why do I always try
To better what I am?
Can't I realize
That I've always been sinking?

[Verse: 2]
Failing everyday
It only helps to aggravate
The sickening feeling inside
That won't go away
Fall down
Pick yourself up and fall down
Drink from my cup and fall down
This is what it's like to be me, me
Can't you see what I see?

[Chorus:]
Why do I always try
To better what I am?
Can't I realize
That I've always been sinking?
Why do I always try
To better what I am?
Can't I realize
That I've always been sinking?

[Bridge:]
What I am is what I feel
But what I feel is nothing real
And what I know is all I want
Is to be saved from this spot
To be saved from this spot
To be saved from this spot

[Chorus:]
Why do I always try
To better what I am?
Can't I realize
That I've always been sinking?
Why do I always try
To better what I am?
Can't I realize
That I've always been sinking?
