Riptide is one of the saddest pieces we have done. It deals with fighting thoughts and feelings but knowing you cannot fight them forever begging the question of "How much longer"

lyrics

How long can I keep this up?
Dragged out by the undertow
I keep on trying
It would be so easy to let go

Barely on the surface
I can no longer see the shore
I keep going under
I can’t do this anymore

Underneath the surface
I reach my hands into the air
I try hold on
I reach out but nothing’s there

I keep asking myself
Why try fight it?
I keep asking myself
Why try fight it now?
I keep asking myself
Why try fight it?
I keep asking myself
Why try fight it now?

How much longer?
How much longer now?
How much longer?
How much longer now?

I keep asking myself
Why try fight it?
I keep asking myself
Why try fight it now?
I keep asking myself
Why try fight it?
I keep asking myself
Why try fight it now?

How much longer?
How much longer now?
How much longer?
How much longer now?
