LYRICS
I've been searching for an exit, but I'm lost inside my head;
Where I spend every waking moment wishing I was dead.
For a few minutes get me away from here,
For a few minutes wipe away my tears.
For I am lost right now as the ocean deep;
I am low my friend and how my heart does sink.
Yeah I am lost right now as the ocean deep;
I am low my friend and how my heart does sink.

It's like there's cancer in my blood,
It's like there's water in my lungs,
And I can't take another step,
Please tell me I am not undone.
It's like there's fire [under] my skin
And I'm drowning from within -
I can't take another breath,
Please tell me I am not undone.

I've been searching for an exit but I'm lost inside my head;
Where I spend every waking moment wishing this would end.
I can't take another step, I cannot live inside my mind,
I can't face another day, I am so fucking tired.
For I am lost right now as the ocean deep,
I am low my friend and how my heart does sink.
Yeah I am lost right now as the ocean deep,
I am low my friend and how my heart does sink.

It's like there's cancer in my blood,
it's like there's water in my lungs
And I can't take another step --
Please tell me I am not undone.
It's like there's fire [under] my skin
And I'm drowning from within.
I can't take another breath --
Please tell me I am not undone.

I've been searching for an exit but I'm lost inside my head;
Where I spend every waking moment, wishing I was dead.
I'll take another step for you --
I'll shed my tears until I drown, or until I am underground.
I'll take another breath for you...
Will you still be there when I'm home, out from the great unknown?

It's like there's cancer in my blood,
It's like there's water in my lungs,
And I can't take another step --
Please tell me I am not undone.
It's like there's fire [under] my skin
And I'm drowning from within.
I can't take another breath --
Please tell me I am not undone.

I lost my wife to cancer March 8, 2019. We loved this song. We were from Pittsburgh and that was actually what jumped out about this song to us. She ended up dying from cancer being in her blood and had fluid in her lungs. Every time I hear that part, I just think of the irony how it remind me of her now. I miss you honey. Always.

Everyone who's dealing with depression, any other mental illness or incurable sickness... I would love to give you a hug right now... please feel loved and cherished... I know you're broken and in pain, but you're not alone... there are people out there that share your pain and care about you - please hold on ♥

I lost my wife on April 28th 2017. She was my best friend. If I didn't find this band then I am sure I would of lost my shit. I have so many in answered questions. this song helps me through the day

[JordanExplores]

That children's choir still gives me major fucking chills so many years later. Such powerful and emotive music. I hope Joel knows he's helped so many people with his lyrics.

[thedadvocate]

If anyone wonders why this song is called "Pittsburgh", he told us at Warped2018 yesterday. He said Its called Pittsburgh because he almost dies and drank/drugged himself to death in Pittsburgh 5 years ago yesterday. Thank You for writing this song.

[_randomtrashpanda_]

It's definitely an Amity affliction night. Got too much on my mind with no one to really talk to.

[torrablackwell]

does anyone else feel the deep burning urge to sing along with the chorus and let emotions flow ?

[brandonhedges]

My wife passed away from Leukemia back on Halloween of 2022 and I recently came across this song. It absolutely rips my heart out. So much emotions come up. These lyrics are deep. We just gotta Keep Swimming.

[iancoates]

The melodic parts of this song is what my soul hungers for.

[trollkëbre]

I was searching for metalcore bands on the internet when I came across this band. Best discovery ever!

[ElucidatorVids]

I saw them at warped tour. It was an unreal experience. They opened with this song and it was so fucking awesome. This band is a must see. I love them so much

[electromancer]

Nearly 10 years have gone by and this song hits me just as hard every time I hear it. I have to turn it off before the chorus hits if I am around people because I immediately start crying. Its almost a Pavlovian response. And this song's meaning to me has evolved and grown with me over time. I really appreciate this piece of music for the hard times it has helped me through. I just wish I could listen to it without thinking about all the people I have lost along the way in life

[karissabianconi]

This is such a beautiful song, I feel for anyone that actually feels this way!😕

[leahhenry]

No song has ever explained how I feel as much as this one does. This song means so much to me. When I'm having hard times like tonight I listen tout and cry. I just feel like im so alone, music is all I have.

[peterdonnelly]

this is my favourite song by T.A.A, I think I have honestly listened to it a thousand times these last few days

[agunghermawanputra]

4 mei 2023, ternyata ada yang lebih sakit menyesakkan, bukan terbakar ataupun tenggelam, tapi ketika kita mencintai seseorang sendirian tanpa ada balasan darinya, dan sekarang aku melihat dia bersama orang lain, beruntung saya mendengar kan lagu ini jika tidak saya akan menenggelamkan diri 🌻💔

[ishaabundo]

2020 : this song still give me lump in my throat every damn time.

[LFSPharaoh]

that clean singer is fucking amazing damn. the screamer is great too

[robynwotherspoon]

Seriously have so much love for this band

LYIRICS


I've been searching for an exit
But I'm lost inside my head
Where I spend every waking moment
Wishing I was dead
For a few minutes get me away from here
For a few minutes wipe away my tears
For I am lost right now as the ocean deep
I am low my friend and how my heart does sink
Yeah I am lost right now as the ocean deep
I am low my friend and how my heart does sink
It's like there's cancer in my blood
It's like there's water in my lungs
And I can't take another step
Please tell me I am not undone
It's like there's fire in my skin
And I'm drowning from within
I can't take another breath
Please tell me I am not undone
I've been searching for an exit
But I'm lost inside my head
Where I spend every waking moment
Wishing this would end
I can't take another step
I cannot live inside my mind
I can't face another day
I am so fucking tired
For I am lost right now as the ocean deep
I am low my friend and how my heart does sink
Yeah I am lost right now as the ocean deep
I am low my friend and how my heart does sink
It's like there's cancer in my blood
It's like there's water in my lungs
And I can't take another step
Please tell me I am not undone
It's like there's fire my skin
And I'm drowning from within
I can't take another breath
Please tell me I am not undone
I've been searching for an exit
But I'm lost inside my head
Where I spend every waking moment
Wishing I was dead
I'll take another step for you
I'll shed my tears until I drown or until I am underground
I'll take another breath for you...
Will you still be there when I'm home
Out from the great unknown?
It's like there's cancer in my blood
It's like there's water in my lungs
And I can't take another step
Please tell me I am not undone
It's like there's fire my skin
And I'm drowning from within
I can't take another breath
Please tell me I am not undone
