    Ooh, no, ooh, no, yeah

    I fell asleep in the tub, I was there with paralysis
    My foot hit the faucet, water started flowing in
    Couldn't scream for help, I just slowly felt the pressure hit
    Moving one toe was the only form of motion left
    Can't breathe for air, can't breathe
    Trying to remember everything that my preacher said
    Tryna right my wrongs, my regrets filling up my head
    All the times I dodged death, this can't be the way it ends, no

    Figure in the corner I can't quite see (quite see)
    I just know the shadow's staring at me
    It gets closer, it gets closer, it gets closer now
    Figure in the corner laughing at me (at me)
    Water fill my lungs, vision blurry
    Heartbeat slower, heartbeat slower, heartbeat slower

    Voices'll tell me that I should carry on
    Voices'll tell me that I should carry on
    Voices'll tell me that I should carry on
    Voices'll tell me that I should carry on

    I've been baptized in fear, my dear
    I've been the chief of sin
    Washing my soul within
    I've been baptized in fear, my dear
    Like Paul, I'm the chief of sin
    Washing my soul within, oh

    Figure in the corner I can't quite see (quite see)
    I just know the shadow's staring at me
    It gets closer, it gets closer, it gets closer now
    Figure in the corner laughing at me (at me)
    Water fill my lungs, vision blurry
    Heartbeat slower, heartbeat slower, heartbeat slower

    Voices'll tell me that I should carry on
    Voices'll tell me that I should carry on
    Voices'll tell me that I should carry on
    Voices'll tell me that I should carry on (oh no)
    Voices'll tell me that I should carry on
    Voices'll tell me that I should carry on Writer/s: Abel Tesfaye, Daniel Lopatin, Nathan Salon
