Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea Lyrics

It begins with water pouring in
Cause the waves they are crashing over me
And the water is starting to get too deep
I need to wake up and see
I need to wake up and see
I need to wake up and see what I have come to be

As I live my life for someone else
I can't find myself, can't find myself
I swear the walls are closing in
And there's no way, there's no way out
I can only hope that I break free
Before I'm trapped between the devil and the deep blue sea
Now I'm stuck here, in the mirror, to reflect upon myself
But now I see, now I see
That the mirrors edge was too thin
To balance everything on me

I lost myself to see what I'd find
But I wont know what I have
Until I open up my eyes
I held the answers in my hands
But couldn't perceive them
And so the story goes, I self compose my own ruin

As I live my life for someone else
I can't find myself, can't find myself
And I can only take one last breath as my anchors pull me down again

Because I'm trapped between the devil and the deep blue sea
The surface is calling my name
Because I'm trapped between the devil and the deep blue sea
But I won't taste the air again
Until I know who I am
And I can see the end

I lost myself to see what I'd find
But when I opened up my eyes
I found a better life
Cause I finally broke through the surface
With the taste of a new life on my lips
And as the sun shone down on me
I knew I was where I need to be
