Lyrics of “Afloat”

My mind is littered with unwanted thoughts,

In my heart the remnants of feelings I've lost.

The nights that I spent out destroying myself,

Now I let 'em sneak in like a disease.

Just to blow me away.

So here I'm standing with nothing to say,

The person I've been is no longer to blame.

I'm now heading nowhere, far from what we were.

The most that I can do for you is to keep on lying,

Just to blow you away,

Keeping afloat.

Can't you see? The sun is shining.

I'm out of this storm,

Keeping afloat.
