A Day to Remember - High Diving

I need to know what your silence says
It's like I'm trapped on an island in my head
Waitin' on a hurricane
To pass me by
This natural pattern is
Like a rip current pullin' me back in
Somethin' I can't escape
A wave that never breaks

A million different voices
So many different sounds
The weight of expectation
Tries to kick me when I'm down
I wrote this to remind myself
The next time I'm freakin' out

If I'd just take a minute
To look around
I'd see I reached my limit
I'm on the edge
And scared of heights, I get it
It's hard to practice what you preach
When life is a beach
I'm high divin'

Tryna read your language is
Like a map where the X is in quicksand
It's written across your face
And I start to sink
There's a ringin' inside my head
Like a cannon firin' from both ends
The static I'm drownin' in
Seems like it never ends

A million different voices
So many different sounds (many different sounds)
The weight of expectation
Tries to kick me when I'm down (kick me when I'm down)
I wrote this to remind myself
The next time I'm freakin' out

If I'd just take a minute
To look around
I'd see I reached my limit
I'm on the edge
And scared of heights, I get it
It's hard to practice what you preach
When life is a beach
I'm high divin'

So put up
Or shut up
So put up
Or shut up
So put up
Or shut up
So put up, put up, put up, yeah

If I'd just take a minute
To look around
I'd see I reached my limit
I'm on the edge
And scared of heights, I get it
It's hard to practice what you preach
When life is a beach
I'm high divin'
It's hard to practice what you preach
When life is a beach
I'm high divin'
