3 Year Defeat

[Verse 1]
Summertime, summertime, summertime, summertime
When it happened to me
I remember my very first, very first time
I still see it when I shut my eyes
I remember the water
Being brighter than normal
I could feel my whole body
It's changing, it's rotting, it's changing, it's plotting

[Chorus]
Please don't let this consume me
I will do anything
To get away from what could be
I don't want to be low again

[Verse 2]
Wintertime, wintertime, wintertime, wintertime
Shaking for different reasons
Half alive, half alive, half alive, half alive
The other half isn't me
It's a simple math equation
Too much substance than abrasion

[Chorus]
Please don't let this consume me
I will do anything
To get away from what could be
I don't want to be low again

[Post-Chorus]
There's still a world for us to see
I feel the waves wash over me
The start of a three-year defeat
But we're all right now, so come on

[Chorus]
Please don't let this consume me
I will do anything
To get away from what could be
I don't want to be low again

[Post-Chorus]
There's still a world for us to see
I feel the waves wash over me
The start of a three-year defeat
But we're all right now, so come on

[Outro]
And it took everything I had to destroy the last stash
'Cause my mind's still on the trigger now, waiting to pull
Oh my God, my heart is racing, but at least it's on its own
It's the first time in a while that it's beating on its own
