Falling In Reverse - 'Sink Or Swim'

"Sink Or Swim" by Falling In Reverse from the album 'The Drug In Me Is You,' out now!

LYRICS
what if the devil was a lie?
what if god did not exist?
so with all do respect
tell me what is death,
if life is just a bitch?
i see the evil in their eyes
i hear the lies behind their grin
they wander in the dark
they do not have a heart
dont let them take you in.
(brace for impact!)

you will pay the price
for betraying me
you will pay the
PRICE
you will pay the price
for betraying me
you will pay the price

so save your self
because the tide is rising high
its sink or swim
its hit or miss
what will you pick/
so take some action
dont let the under toe
grab hold
its sink or swim its hit or miss man over board
man overboard

do you believe in ghost?
conducting from the grave?
we're nothing but pawns
so move to where they want
cause life is just a game
i have my hands around your throat
with a smile upon my face
squeeze until you choke
and i will not let go
until i feel ok.

you will pay the price
for betraying me
you will pay the
PRICE

so save your self
because the tide is rising high
its sink or swim
its hit or miss
what will you pick/
so take some action
dont let the under toe
grab hold
its sink or swim its hit or miss man over board
man overboard

i bid farewell
to you fairweather friend
i know someday you'll
get what you deserve
and after all (and after all)
the bridges you have burned
i've forgiven you for things that you have done
2x

so save your self
because the tide is rising high
its sink or swim
its hit or miss
what will you pick/
so take some action
dont let the under toe
grab hold
its sink or swim its hit or miss man over board
man overboard

I feel like this is the most underrated falling in Reverse song.

[beanzcrew]

I'm so glad kids bop hasn't ruined this music 😅

[catlover]

I went to a Falling in Reverse concert yesterday, they happened to play this song first. They were awesome.

Coming back to this album as a 21 year old has unlocked a part of me that I locked up, the embarrassment that I got when people would pull out my earbuds from my laptop when I listened to this entire album during class and it would fill the class. The bullying for being "Different" especially since I went to a catholic school... I locked this all up, to "fit in" but now I know that this is my genuine self. I should have never done that, fitting in sucks, being the truthful self is the best way to live.
But now, I can entirely embrace this side of me, and I will always have amazing memories.
Sad I never got to see Falling in Reverse live since I lived in Australia, but if they tour in Aus anytime soon I'll make sure I get there.

R.I.P. Derek <3 We will love you and hold you in our hearts forever.

*I always wished they made a music video for this song*

[bushdidharambe]

I love this song so much. Especially the intro

[misanthropicgato]

Oh dear,
how this band brings back the good times.

[hannanicole]

Me and my sister have a joke with this song. If one of us says "brace for impact" the other has to do the screamo "you will pay the priiice". Its fun to scare people with cx. Its also fun to do when its quiet.

[TheBhkingMacho]

Put Ronnie in any Band dude is talented cant argue that his style is unique

[thakoalaking]

I listened to this album A LOT when I came out of my coma, made me beat lol my odds by myself thank you

[tamararetana]

This was their best album. The new songs are great but this will never be beat.

[Ancall]

I remember it as if it were yesterday when I was 12 and 13, and spent hours on my uncle's computer, at my grandma's house, listening to this band. "Sink or Swim" was, by far, my favorite, and I listened to it almost 50 times per day, haha. Now I'm 20 and don't listen much of Metalcore/Post-hardcore anymore, but Falling In Reverse and Escape The Fate will always mean a lot to me. "The Drug in Me Is You" is part of my life.

[iwasadeum]

Such an underrated song. I really hope this song gets a revised take like I'm Not a Vampire and Drug in Me Reimagined. The message, the tone of the song, and the pace would just fit so beautifully into a reimagination.

[KNGFSH]

Why does Ronnie look like that one alcoholic aunt you only see at family reunions?

[lioness_]

i love Falling in Reverse... there is no song I dislike <3 FIR <3

[leahwalker]

By far my favorite Falling in Reverse song.

[phillivanilli]

Rest In Peace Derek. You crushed it man. We miss you.

[neiloctaviano]

It’s 3:50AM, I cannot sleep anymore and this is the song running in mind

[Aoicorn]

Loving this band ever since I found out about them. Especially this song which already opens with the chills running over your spine, right up to the chorus where they surprise you once again with pure vocal superiority.

[JesseKuhn]

Ronnie's screaming here sounds a lot like the Blessthefall vocalist :o
