Thanks to Greg/Gmilam for an idea :)
Sink Or Swim:
(verse 1)
All i feel is that I'm alone
through this sea,
i fall like stone
but unlike rock
i need my breath,
or on the bottom meet my death.
(verse 2)
My ears are popping,
lungs on fire
my booted feet caught in the mire
kicking and thrashing,
hard as I may
all the world's beauty turning to gray
(Chorus)
Will I sink or swim....Lose or win
Can't tread any longer
The undertow; the crashing waves
Life's anchor grows stronger
Questioning, what will it be
Sink or swim?
(verse 3)
One last push my body is freed
i break the surface
life guaranteed
for the moment
this water i'll tread
wondering why this time
i'm not dead
(verse 4 )
And as i ply these waters
gasping for air
buoyed by hope,
dragged down by despair
if my happiness is flagging
or life's light goes dim...
(Chorus)
Will I sink or swim....Lose or win
Can't tread any longer
The undertow; the crashing waves
Life's anchor grows stronger
Questioning, what will it be
Sink or swim?

I don't think I'm a lot dumber than you think that I thought I once was - White Goodman (Dodgeball)
Been a long time since I've been here.

I think that between verse 3 and 4 another chorus should be added, and some more lines should be added to the last chorus, you know? well, i was wondering if you have any notes or TAB written on the guitar for this song yet...I'm in a band called Never Knows Best and would love to take this song for a spin.I gotta couple ideas for a beat...Well, let me know if i got your permission....
Been ages since i've seen this song. Hardly remembered it. One of my favorites i've ever written. Any input on how any changes can be made to it?

Howdy DillyDally. Here's a few soggy suggestions
which you can haul in the boat or throw overboard.

Can't tread any longer =6
The undertow; the crashing waves =8
Death's anchor grows stronger =6
So I question, what will I choose =8
Sink or swim, win or lose =6
