[Verse 1: Howard Jones]
Who knows how long, I've been lost in the dark
Followed closely by the footsteps of my failures
What can I do, to alter my perception
Of the way and the truth?

[Hook 1: Howard Jones]
Let this burden drift away

[Verse 2: Howard Jones]
Who knows how long, the void has swallowed me
I only wish for nothing more than peace to find me
How can this be? We've come so far
To let the weight destroy our grand design

[Hook 2: Howard Jones]
Let this burden drift away
My pledge remains faithful to you

[Pre-Chorus: Howard Jones]
And my heart still beats your name

[Chorus: Howard Jones]
Drowning once again
Will I live another day?
To reach the surface
Let this burden drift away
[Chorus: Howard Jones]
Drowning once again
Will I live another day?
To reach the surface
Let this burden drift away

[Bridge: Howard Jones, Adam Dutkiewicz]
Drowning, choking, fading, life!
Is this the moment where I leave the blackness?
Is this the moment of my-
Rebirth!

[Verse 1: Howard Jones]
Who knows how long, I've been lost in the dark
Followed closely by the footsteps of my failures
What can I do, to alter my perception
Of the way and the truth?

[Chorus: Howard Jones]
Drowning once again
Will I live another day?
To reach the surface
Let this burden drift away

[Outro: Howard Jones]
Drowning again
Reach the surface
Let it drift away
