Don't pretend you're sorry
I know you're not
You know you got the power
To make me weak inside
Girl you leave me breathless
But it's okay 'cause
You are my survival
Now hear me say
I can't imagine life
Without your love
Even forever don't seem
Like long enough
'Cause everytime I breathe
I take you in
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it
You keep me
Drowning in your love
Everytime I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby I can't help it
You keep me
Drowning in your love
Maybe I'm a drifter
Late at night
'Cause I long for the safety
Of flowing freely
In your arms
I don't need another lover
It's not for me
'Cause only you can save me
Oh can't you see
I can't imagine life
Without your love
And even forever don't seem
Like long enough
'Cause everytime I breathe
I take you in
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it
You keep me
Drowning in your love
Everytime I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby I can't help it
You keep me
Drowning in your love
Go on and pull me under
Cover me with dreams, yeah
Love me mouth to mouth now
You know I can't resist
'Cause you're the air
That I breathe
Everytime I breathe
I take you in
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it
You keep me
Drowning in your love
Everytime I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
And baby I can't help it
You keep me
Drowning your love
Baby I can't help it
Keep me drowning
In your love
I keep drowning
In your love
Baby I can't help it
Can't help it no, no
'Cause everytime I breathe
I take you in
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it
You keep me
Drowning in your love
Everytime I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby I can't help it
You keep me
Drowning in your love
Switch the light off, go to bed
There's no more room inside my head
The world around me slowly fades away
As I close my eyes and think, the shadows blot my memories
Of all the thing I've tried and failed today
Please don't go
First I need to know, if all the lies you said to me were true
And the face that I saw wasn't really you
I feel like drowning, deep down in the sea
I feel like drowning, don't bother coming after me
I feel like drowning, way down in
My false memories, I feel like drowning
With blankets wrapped around so tight
That in my dreams my hands are tied
Now I'm slow-mo running for the door
I've got no clue where it leads, but my lungs need some air to breathe
My eyelids shutter then fall to the floor
Please don't go
First I need to know, if all the lies you said to me were true
And the face that I saw wasn't really you
I feel like drowning, deep down in the sea
I feel like drowning, don't bother coming after me
I feel like drowning, way down in
My false memories, I feel like drowning
We all reach that dark and fragile destination sometimes
Looking for direction for the light to fill our eyes
Fill our eyes
Please don't go
First I need to know, if all the lies you said to me were true
And the face that I saw wasn't really you
I feel like drowning, deep down in the sea
I feel like drowning, don't bother coming after me
I feel like drowning, way down in
Oh, oh yeah
Don't pretend you're sorry
I know you're not
You know you got the power
To make me weak inside
But girl, you're leaving me breathless
But it's okay
'Cause you are my survival
Now hear me say
I can't imagine
Life without your love
And even forever
Don't seem like long enough
'Cause every time I breathe I take you in
And my heart beats again
Baby, I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love
And every time I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby, I can't help it
Keep me drowning in your love
Maybe I'm a drifter
Maybe not
'Cause I have known the safety
Of flowing freely in your arms
And I don't need another lover
It's not for me
'Cause only you can save me
Oh, can't you see
I can't imagine
Life without your love
And even forever
Don't seem like long enough
(Don't seem like long enough, yeah)
'Cause every time I breathe I take you in
And my heart beats again
Baby, I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love
And every time I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby, I can't help it
Keep me drowning in your love
Go on and pull me under
Cover me with dreams, yeah
Love me mouth to mouth now
You know I can't resist
'Cause you're the air I breathe
Every time I breathe I take you in
('Cause every time I breathe, yeah)
And my heart beats again
Baby, I can't help it
(Baby I can't help it)
Keep me drowning in your love
Every time I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby, I can't help it
Keep me drowning in your love
Baby, I can't help it
Got me drowning
(Keep me drowning in your love)
Got me drowning
(Keep me drowning in your love)
Baby, I can't help it
(I can't help it, can't help it)
Got me drowning
(No, no)
Every time I breathe I take you in
(Girl, I do)
And my heart beats again
Baby, I can't help it
(Baby I can't help it)
Keep me drowning in your love
Every time I try to rise above
(Got me drowning)
I'm swept away by love
Baby, I can't help it
I don't love you but I'm lost
Thinking of you and the ghosts
Of so many special moments
That passed so quickly at the time
And now, they come and track me down
And echo round and round and round
And time goes slowly or disappears completely
And I feel like I fade away, like drowning
I don't need you but it's so hard
To be without you, though you're not far away
I censor my emotions
And tell myself to bide my time
But every time you come around
You batter my defenses down
But so gently, like some sweet hypnosis
And the world just slips away, I'm drowning
It's dark, my heart is pounding
I'm sinking down into a pool of passion
There's laughter as I drown
Like so many lost before me
Damned by lust and gone to hell
And then I look into your eyes
And something melts, I shake inside
And cool water washes me all over
I feel like drowning in this world of misery.
I raise my fist to fight this stupidity.
My inner self tells me to keep on struggling.
For those absolute rights and against their suffering.
And I don't regret my self- reliance.
In this world full of dead and senseless dying.
Too much blood has been shed, greed leads to violence.
In this world full of death I keep on trying...
BLOOD COVERS YOUR CONSCIENCE...PROFIT STOPS YOUR PITY!
Can't you see their suffering?
How can you ignore their pain?
Look at the locked- up victims, don't turn your head away.
You are responsible (too), so start to save your soul.
Consumer of this slavery for the taste on your palate...
Do you know the price they have to pay?
Can you ignore their hell everyday?
BLOOD COVERS YOUR CONSCIENCE...PROFIT STOPS YOUR PITY!
Drink the water drink it down
This time I know I'm bound to spit it back up
I didn't want this salty substitute
Just not going to do I need some air
If I'm going to live through this experience
Reminds me of a clock that just won't tick
I want to wake up from this concussion
But my dream is just not done I'm late again
It's just one of those bad days look outside and
Be careful what you ride you just might find
That you're out of time to swim ashore
If I drift long enough, I'll be home
He's got delusions between his ears
Man it takes up too much space
And all that tension between his gears man
He'll never ever leave this place
He's got stones instead of bones and everybody knows
Ah man that can make you real real slow
And if Heaven was below he'd know just where to go
Dive in the ocean and he'd sink like a stone
And he'd say, "It's time to swim ashore
If I drift long enough, I'll be home"
Hold on if you can you're gonna sink faster
Than you can imagine so hold
Now just hold on if you can you're gonna sink faster
Than you can imagine so hold
It's just time to swim ashore
I don't know why
I don't know what is wrong
Oh no
Is karma gonna get me?
At times that's all I see
It's not real
Wanna feel
Wanna feel, like I did before
Mornings I can't breathe
Wave crashes over me
And drowns me
Wind's running rings around me
It takes me time to see
What is real?
Wanna feel
Wanna feel
Like I did before
Like I did before
Time changes things
Like I never thought
Like I never saw?
Time changes me
I'm like I never was
Oh no
I'm looling back to what I was
I've seen my face right on the floor
And I love you, being around
I say it again, I'm not fucking around
I've seen in before
I'll see ut again
It's knocking my door
And it never pretends
I'm down on my knees
And I don't know where to go to find my way back home
I'm drowning
I'm drowning
I'm drowning
I’m drowning in sorrow and all the missed,
I missed so many opportunities.
How can I possibly find joy?
Small bits of life, of my life,
The good old times,
Can send a quick second of happiness
Running through my body.
But it never lasts.
It’s not enough.
That small sliver of light
Doesn’t make up for all the dark shadows
Which encompass the entire room.
That small sliver makes the surrounding shadows appear darker.
It makes the misery seem so much worse, so much more intense.
I need a branch, something sturdy; not a sliver.
Maybe a large branch of light would overtake the shadows.
The happiness doesn’t seem to overtake
The pool of misery and depression
That I seem to be sinking in.
I need strength, I need to be heard.
People seem to only want to listen
Once they see the colors,
Once the pain is visible.
I can’t just be there for them,
They need to be there, too.
Why don’t they understand this isn’t some game.
You cant just quit and leave me to keep on going
Its not the kind of thing that can be erased
Abandonment is all your good for.
Times change and people change
But true friends are supposed to always be there,
To always care. They’re supposed to continuously
Listen and take action,
Save me as I drown.
Pulled down to the depths
I feel that I am going under
Swept away I struggle now
Gasping for my last breath
Choking me - I can not breathe
Liquid vision, all I see
Drifting - no sign of life
Floating dead
The tide carries me
Fluid fills my lungs, as my eyes open wide
I can't reach the surface - no sense of true direction
My body turns - violently
Cramping limbs - to weak to swim
Drifting - no signs of life
Floating dead
The tide carries me
Drowning too weak to swim
Floating dead - the tide carries me away
Submerged in this grave
My body set a drift
Skin is white and cold
Sinking to the depths
In this liquid terror
Dead and motionless
Drifting - no sign of life
floating dead the tide carries me
Drowning too weak to swim
Floating dead the tide carries meCrushed by rocks and current
I float up to the surface
My body washed ashore - swollen from exposure
Black and blue, lifeless dead
Suffocation - in liquid
Drifting - no sign of life
Floating dead the tide carries me
Drowning too weak to swim
Floating dead the tide carries me - away
Trouble with the world is we're too busy to think about it, all right
Why is there a rebel flag hanging from the state house walls?
Tired of hearin' this shit about heritage not hate
Time to make the world a better place
Why must we hate one another?
Well no matter what we gotta live together
Just that you don't look like me, tell me what do you see
When we pass on the street what do you wanna see
P.E.'s coming is all I gotta say
Wanna turn and run away
They're just telling you how they see it
Right or wrong they don't care, you wish that they would quit
Drowning in a sea of tears
Hatred trying to hide your fears
Living only for yourself
Hating everybody else
Cause they don't look like you
Nanci singing it's a hard life wherever you go
About some fat racist living in Chicago
Trying to teach his kids to hate everyone
Well tell me why is that something you wanna teach your son?
Why must we hate one another?
When the people in the church, they tell me you're my brother
You don't walk like me, ... you don't talk like me, saying
Go back to Africa, I just don't understand
I'm trying to be someone that he could look up to, but
When I walk down the street, tell me what do you see
I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man
No I'm not like you
Why do you hate me so
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I'm drowning in the fountain of your love
In the whirlpool of my mind you're all I'm thinking of
I'm sinking into the tear drops in your eyes
I'm floating on the cushion of your sighs.
It's hard to write a love song
That has something new to say
It's hard to write a love song
Without using old clichés.
I love you I need you, I want you for my own
Please don't ever leave me, I couldn't stand to be alone
I'm swimming in the ocean of your kiss
How could I have known, your kiss would be like this.
(String and Piano Solo)
This is my first love song
And this is my last
I'm getting too choked up inside
Better finish it fast.
I'm sailing through the stars up above
Am i drowning you out?
Boasts of defection
If everything was up to me,
I would be gone by the first sight
The first sight of hope I'd be packed up and out on my way.
Time has been spread so thin
And it's just hours 'fore the day begins.
And the things that are keepin you here are not keepin me here.
The things that are keepin you here
will keep me away.
And "you'll be sorry" isn't that what they'll say?
Don't follow your heart 'cause it just seems to get in your way.
And dont ever leave here and mope at you lesuire and straighten out your
crease dear and truth is in a tall beer
Are you drowing your fears?
Pasts of deception
When everything is hazy then everything will be OK
When everything is hazy then you wont be sad that you stayed.
Time has been spread so thin
And it's just hours 'till the day begins.
And the things that are keeping you here are not keeping me here.
The things that are keeping you here
Will keep me away
And "you'll be sorry" isn't that what they'll say?
Don't follow your heart 'cause it just seems to get in your way
And don't ever leave here and mope at your lesuire and straighten out your
crease dear, and truth is in a tall beer...
Inside everybody fights
inside everybody burns
the time hangs from the ceiling
inside everybody drowns
inside no one ever feels
inside no one ever knows
the ice melts while we call out
inside no one ever hears us
inside everybody cries
inside everybody melts
who´s that looking for meaning?
inside everybody´s dead
so where´s the grace? where do we find it?
inside the thorns? inside the frames?
so why the pain? and why the suffering?
is there a reason? will we ever know?
it´s what you bleed
it´s what you´ve done
it´s all the pain behind the tears
these words that lie under my tongue
just let it go
Die!
I gave in to
The stress in life
I can't escape
The pressure seems to get me down
It's like a needle in my spine
It stings inside
Poisons me with time
I can't deal with your lies
I wish I could watch you drown and die
And take my time
(Lies)
It's always been a problem, can't you see?
I don't get
(Your lies)
People have said (They have said)
I'm not okay (I'm not okay)
I lost my mind, numb me 'til I won't feel pain again
It's like a needle in my spine
It stings inside
Poisons me with time
I won't deal with your lies
I wish I could watch you drown and die
And take my time
(Lies)
It's always been a problem, can't you see?
I don't get
(Your lies)
Life is gone
I have no one
Life is good
I am no one
Life is gone
I have no one
Life is scarred
I am no one
Life is gone
I have a lie
Something, something inside of my mind
Let it all go and tie me to your fight
Nothing is real inside, just the lies
Something keeps building you high with lies
I wish I could watch you drown and die
And take my time
(Lies)
It's always been a problem, can't you see?
I don't bend
(The lies)
I wish I could watch you drown and die
And take my time
(Lies)
It's always been a problem, can't you see?
I've been straight up with you to try and make it easier,
try to make things easier between you and me. Stand up and look at me get
off your hallowed ground try to see the boundary between me and you.
It's obvious to me this ain't working,
It's just not gonna work out between you and me. I've been straight up
with you,
Your still avoiding me.
I guess your too blind to see the difference in me.
Your apprehension's grounding me and everything I know.
Your good intension's are drowning me and
I can't breathe below the surface when you're hold me down.
So why the hell should I have to repeat my self, you know this doesn't
have to be a pain in my soul.
Why should I have to be everybodys great redeemer,
it isn't wrong to be just what I am.
Your apprehension's grounding me and everything I know.
Your good intension's are drowning me and
I can't breathe below the surface when you're hold me down.
Deep water rushing over my head deep water holding me down.
Deep blood is washing my hands I'm drowning,
I'm drowning lost in lies,
they don't satisfy me anymore.
Your apprehension's drowning me and
I can't breathe below the surface when you're hold me down.
Water holding me down.
You're on holiday from your thoughts, to live another day in the clouds
In denial you refuse to see, a betreyal and you blame me
We are all going insane, oh yes!
You are definitely going insane, oh yes!
Drowning, can't you see you're going
Under, can't you see you're fading
I'm on holiday in your thoughts, to die another day in the dark
In denial I refuse to see, a betreyal and they all blame me

icy water pulls me down, surrounding me
drifting with the gentle stream,
embracing me too weary to reach the surface
a soldier of fortune bearing arms
without belief he's been under fire and
has never felt no grief pride and glory
the innocent dying for pride and glory
i hear them beg for mercy the terrifying
screams i hear them echo in my mind, cryin'
i'm drowning slowly inside the dream
i choke on the water drowning slow and
i see the visions of slaughter
awake in a cold sweat haunted by the
things he saw the silhouettes dancing
on the bedroom paperwall hell and fire
the yesterday victims it's hell and fire
i hear them beg for mercy the terrifying
screams i hear them echo in my mind, cryin'
i'm drowning slowly inside the dream
i choke on the water drowning slow and
i see the visions of slaughter
the hero in shadows for the gold he
sells his soul to fight for the honor
every mercenary's goal pride and glory
I'm drowning in nothing
Nothing real
Nothing left
Nothing
I'm losing myself
Sinking deeper down
Silently leaving
This behind
Nothing left but me
I'm hating myself
Hating myself
Everyone hates me now
Everyone has changed
Everything has changed
Everyone has changed
How do they know what is love what is real?
Do they feel anything when they step to the edge?
And look down to the rocks that they'll met
If they fall from their ground
See how they walk unaware of the steps
That they take in a dance on a line as the dead lose control
You will find what it means to have fallen in love
I will never hold you underneath for me
Maybe only just enough so you can breathe
Just another anchor in your life
Drowning over my life
I am afraid love is blind in a way
I do not wanna drag you along to a grave meant for me
Underneath every tree at the bottom of the lake
I will never hold you underneath for me
Maybe only just enough so you can breathe
Just another anchor in your life
Drowning over my life
You're gasping for a taste of air
With a hand I hold you down
You're crying out won't save you now
Everything will end with me
I won't hold you underneath for me
Maybe just enough so you can breathe
Take a breath to save your life
Drowning over my:
I will never hold you underneath for me
Maybe only just enough so you can breathe
Just another anchor in your life
Drowning over my life
I won't hold you underneath for me
(I will just bring you down)
Maybe just enough so you can breathe
(Nothing can sink me down)
Just an anchor in your life
Drowning over my life
I feel like drowning in this world of misery.

Can't you see their suffering?

Look at the locked- up victims, don't turn your head
away.
You are responsible (too), so start to save your soul.
Consumer of this slavery for the taste on your palate...
Do you know the price they have to pay?
Can you ignore their hell everyday?
Oh it sounds like a fire in store
Holding down while the tides are strong
I survive a wave but now I'm gone
How am I to change the damage done?
Maybe today, today we die
Give us and take away the cries
Baby today we die
There's a fire in the wind and the oxygen
Brings a round of a .........
And I gave you the rain you claimed the sun
When I took it away you came undone
Even the rain can take the sun
Take it away and file into the light
Where everyone just waits to find
Another thing to steal that's mine
It's unbelievable human kind
It's unbelievable
It's like a pain
Pain..now
How come everybody's doing different then they've said
Complaining that their living and they'd rather be dead
Always part of the ......
So many things that he don't know
Baby today, today we die
Forgive us and take away the cries
Baby today we'll die
I've had hard time thinking
I've had the hardest fall
I'm drowning and now I'm sinking into it all
Remember the words of someone
Someone I used to know
Love everyone but keep them
They drown me into absolute black
All these silent and friendly bastards
Impatient to make me play their game
And feel me suffocate with anguish
My throat gets dry, lungs collapse
My chest explodes
Knelt down, I guess my hands are attached
Cause I cannot actually feel them
My shoulders hurt
The electricity burns my nerves
Those whom I hear behind
I know they do exist
Sweat makes me blind
Unable to react
Only darkness round me
Asphyxiated
Carnage
I hear your coward walk
Carnage
Is it not what you want? I wait for the first bite, grind and choke
To feel the rest of the horde rip my entire skin
I wait for the first bite, grind and choke
Ignore the end, don't mind the fall
Those whom I hear behind
In close circles of desire and unknown expectation
Excited by blood stench and primal animal fear
Archaic excitement of murderous frenzy the warm breath of the best on my
Neck
And movements on both sides
My own breath seems closer
Plastic film comes back on my face
Never wake me up
I drown in constant fear
Tear me into pieces inside
Heinous deceit
Nothing is over
They do exist
There's a time & place 4 everything u say & do
I dont know where u think u got the right, the right the
rule my life
If u think u got me on a string
U'd better take another look at yourself, aint hard 2
satisfy
Doesn't really matter what I do or say, no
But you're pushing me away
Theres something about u got me drowning from your love
Dont wanna let u down again
I gotta confess I'm really drowning from your love
& I wont go down, dont let me down
Why do u insist on constantly bringing me down
When all I do is convey, convey 2 your desire
Nothing but frustration time & time & time again
You're driving me 2 escape & reach 4 something higher
All the things u said are ringing in my ears
& you're pushing me away
Theres something about u got me drowning from your love
Dont wanna let u down again
I gotta confess I'm really drowning from your love
& I wont go down
Theres something about u got me drowning from your love
Dont wanna let u down again
I gotta remake I'm really drowning from your love
& I aint going down again
Theres something about u got me drowning from your love
Dont wanna let u down again
I gotta confess I'm really drowning from your love
Maybe I'm just living out the same old stories in and out
But you know that don't make it easier
Time will fly away with me if truth won't stop and let me see
And tell me I am to believe that you and I should never be again
I'm drowning
When the one you leave is the one thing you believe
You say goodbye when underneaths your one belief
That love rules all, conquers all
Its funny how the times that seem unbearable
Are the ones that you don't ever want to end
And when your childhood slips away
You find you face a brand new day
And you know it can't be the same again
'Cause when you leave you stayed in my memory
You say goodbye for now and have a drink for us
And good luck and find your way
Clawing out will sometimes seem so far away
Never knwowing if I'll live to see another day
Never seem to find out what to do
Noone seems to tell you
'Cause you're drowning
When the one you leave is the one thing you believe
You say goodbye when underneaths your one belief
That love rules all, conquers all
That love rules all, it conquers all
I swam out too far from the shore
Afraid you won't see me anymore
Out in the middle of a rolling sea
With the waves and the water washing over me
Mama!
Don't let me down
I love you more than I did before
So don't let me drown
I'm drowning in this sea of love
Can't see the land or the sky above
Hurry up, baby, get a hold of me
'Fore the devil in this water set my soul free
Mama!
Don't let me drown
If I still mean anything to you
Don't let me down
Mama!
I'm drowning
I'm not waving hello
I ain't clowning around wit'cha, baby
Don't let me go
If you see me lost and drifting around
Reach out for me, don't let me pull you down
It's over my head, mama, don't let me drown
It's getting so quiet I can't hear a...
MAMA!
Don't let me drown
You swim so much better than me
Don't let me drown
Yeah, mama!
Don't let me drown
Yeah, mama!
Mama!
Compromise around the corner
Can you hear the accountant's call?
Could you refuse another dollar?
Could you stop yourself from falling?
So in between the sleepless nights
You dream that you are winning fights
But then it happens, dreadful thing
A wave appears too big to swim
You're drowning, you're drowning
You're drowning, you're drowning
Buy a beach before next summer
How do you feel in the morning?
If the light's an awful bother
I could always close the curtains
Just close your eyes and count to ten
See if you still remember when
Your life seemed easy, you had friends
But that was different, that that was then
You're drowning, you're drowning
(Round and round and round)
You're drowning, you're drowning
(In a frenzy now)
You want fe go in a de ocean
(A so me say)
I saw you drowning in slow motion
(And now me learn)
Far too late to make a commotion
Too late for you to show easy motion
That's why you go down to the bottom, say you can't reach the top
Get stuck on the bottom, say you can't reach the top
A two days later say they find you 'pon the rocks
Say ha ha ha ha ha, bad luck, eh, so
Tell yourself until you're certain
When you hear the accountants call
You'll buy a beach before next summer
Swim away and leave it all
So underwater, deaf and blind
Under such pressures you might find
A secret right before the end
That makes you want to breathe again
You're drowning, you're drowning
(Round and round and round)
You're drowning, you're drowning
(In a frenzy now)
You're drowning, you're drowning
(Round and round and round)
You're drowning, you're drowning
Compromise around the corner
can you hear the accountants call?
could you refuse another dollar?
could you stop yourself from falling?
so in between the sleepless nights
you dream that you are winning fights
but then it happens, dreadful thing
a wave appears too big to swim
you're drowning, you're drowning.
buy a beach before next summer?
how do you feel in the morning?
if the light's an awful bother
i could always close the curtains.
just close your eyes and count to ten
see if you still remember when
your life seemed easy, you had friends
but that was different than that was then
you're drowning, you're drowning
round and round and round
you're drowning
in a frenzy now
you're drowning
you want fe go in a de ocean, a so me say
i saw you drowning in slow motion, and now me learn
far too late to make a commotion
too late for you to show easy motion
a say you go down to the bottom
say you can't reach the top
get stuck on the bottom
say you can't reach the top
two days later say they find you 'pon the rocks
say ha ha ha ha ha bad luck!
eh? so ...
tell yourself until you're certain
can you hear the accountants call?
you'll buy a beach before next summer
swim away and leave it all.
so underwater deaf and blind
under such pressures you might find
a secret right before the end
that makes you want to breathe again
you're drowning, you're drowning
round and round and round
you're drowning
inner frenzy now you're drowning
round and round and round and round
you're drowning, drowning
you said you're unhappy
and you've taken all these tablets
just turn on the television
Stand up!
You know you have the right to!
Speak out!
For the things you that you believe!
If you let them!
They will stab you in the back over again.
Take your integrity.
How long will you let this go on?
They're drowning you in fear.
Speak up!
Your voice just isn't breaking through
It's time now!
It's gone on way too long.
If you let them!
They will tear you into little pieces.
I think there's something wrong.
How long will you let this go on?
They're drowning you in fear.
You're letting your hopes go straight to hell,
And I know the end is near.
Is near.
The time will come.
The time will come.
The time will come.
You will be sorry for what you've done.
The time will come.
How long will you let this go on?
They're drowning you in fear.
You're letting your hopes go straight to hell,
And I know the end is near.
Is near.
You say you're sorry,
And the picture painted
Never fades away
And the canvas tarnished
Its better taken down
Did it fall on deaf ears
Were you listening
Did I neglect to tell you
That we should change into something
Seems as though you meant it
When you almost drowned
And you hindered all the progress
While living in denial
Seems as though you meant it
When you almost drowned
When you test my resolve
Did you stop to think
For once what you were doing
Its better taken down
The damage you are causing
Was almost far too deep
But the past lies behind us
But we should change into something
Seems as though you meant it
When you almost drowned
And you hindered all the progress
While living in denial
Seems as though you meant it
When you almost drowned
So I'll just stand here
But I won't wait for long
With perseverance
Don't hold out too long
X2
Take a step back â'cause it's all you get
All you get X3
Seems as though you meant it
When you almost drowned
Everything is so complex
Everyday is like a test full of opsticals
That almost seem impossible
And I’m thinking just another breath not a minute left.
How long have I been drinking?
Pass the glass pint hit the flash light now break it.
People say I’m a star but I still think ill never make it.
And I’m thinking just another prayer not a second left.
I feel there’s something missing
Sometimes I hate that chaos surrounds me when all the answers I see go around me.
Am I drowning?
Am I fading away?
OR am I living up to all your dreams that made me this way?
Am I drowning?
Am I drowning?
Am I drowning?
Am I drowning?
I’ve been to hell and back looking for the answers to life.
Looking at myself trying to get things right.
And I’m feeling just another breath not a minute left.
I feel the darkness lifting.
There was a time
That I questioned if Id ever be alright.
Running getting high staying trapped by sleepless nights.
And I’m thinking just another breath not a minute left.
I feel there’s something missing.
I’m running from myself and all the things I don’t like.
Living every night like it’s the last night.
And I’m thinking just another prayer not a second left.
I need to stop resisting.
Sometimes I hate that chaos surrounds me when all the answers I see go around me.
Am I drowning?
Am I fading away?
OR am I living up to all your dreams that made me this way?
Am I drowning?
Am I drowning?
Am I drowning?
Am I drowning?
Drowning in the drama lost in the lies trapped by the currents of life caught in the rip tides.
Drowning in the drama lost in the lies trapped by the currents of life caught in the rip tides.
Drowning in the drama lost in the lies trapped by the currents of life caught in the rip tides.
Drowning in the drama lost in the lies trapped by the currents of life caught in the rip tides.
Am I drowning?
Am I drowning?
Am I drowning?
Am I drowning?
Sometimes I hate that chaos surrounds me when all the answers I see go around me.
Am I drowning?
Am I fading away?
OR am I living up to all your dreams that made me this way?
Am I drowning?
Am I drowning?
Am I drowning?
Am I drowning?
Drowning in the drama lost in the lies trapped by the currents of life caught in the rip tides.
(Instrumental)
it’s four a.m. again
father, forgive me this sin
uncomfortable in this life, yeah
I can’t put down this knife, yeah
I’m carving words in my arms, baby
hey, scars are part of my charm, maybe
I need the touch of a hand
this isn’t what i had planned
[Chorus]
I need relief from this life
I wanna slip away into the night
don’t wanna see the sun again
but can’t get swallowed up by this tragic whirlwind
I wish the ocean was warm
I feel like drowning
I’m losing my faith in me
I can’t remember the last time i felt free
from voices inside my head
when I taste liberation, they just feed me fear instead
you say I’m out of control
at least i still have a soul
no, I don’t need your advice
some compassion would be nice
[Chorus]
I can’t take any more of your pills
they hold my head up
but still it feels so wrong
I can’t believe the price that I’ve paid
for this chemically-induced, perceivably ideal, take-it-with-a-glass-of-water day
And I never will know why
Love will pay no mind to me
Love always loved the way it sounded in theory
And I'd kill to be alone
With the strength to be alone
Lonely feelings make me sad around company
Well I'm dedicated and I'm craving someone that i don't
know
In this sea of stupidity I am stuck in the undertow
Here come the lifeguard
I'm drowning and she seems so delicious
I'm grounded wtih her arms around me
And I'm, I'm blinded by them ugly fishes
Don't ask me any of your questions
I won't tell you my lies
Words desreve to serve the painful penalty
And it's analysing just how they're spoken
Three times my hearts been broken
Mama, you aint never told me it's gonna feel like this
So dont sit back and settle for comfort over pain
I've been burned by the copper kettle
I have spit back at the pouring rain
Lie must gut denial
Smile at it's melting face
My insides are defiled
It's wild baby but i cannot erase
Truth is all a lie and I'm trying lesser everyday
Death to all that's dying, conditioning and decay
Tick tock in a pitter pattern
Balls drop cock salutiing Saturn
Seems like I'm always here within. Looking through this hole I found.
I can feel it settling inside, where the river eats my hair.
Winter come alive for me, and then I could grow my eyes again.
Feels like I'm wearing thin within. Becoming less all the time.
I know someone who's drowning now, growing cold on dirty ground.
Entertaining my hate stare, I could move, but I don't care.
And if you threw it all away, I wouldn't miss it.
If you killed the world today, I wouldn't miss it.
Look around my ugly face, I wouldn't miss it.
Right here in this lonely place, I wouldn't miss it.
So I die everyday, sinking into nothing like the sun.
And if I could grow my wings again, I would shed all my skin.
I know someone who's drowning now, growing cold on dirty ground.
Entertaining my hate stare, I think it's me and I don't care.
And if you threw it all away, I wouldn't miss it.
If you killed the world today, I wouldn't miss it.
Look around my ugly face, I wouldn't miss it.
Seems like I'm always here within. Looking through this hole I found.
I can feel it settling inside, where the river eats my hair.
Winter come alive for me, and then I could grow my eyes again.
Feels like I'm wearing thin within. Becoming less all the time.
I know someone who's drowning now, growing cold on dirty ground.
Entertaining my hate stare, I could move, but I don't care.
And if you threw it all away, I wouldn't miss it.
If you killed the world today, I wouldn't miss it.
Look around my ugly face, I wouldn't miss it.
Right here in this lonely place, I wouldn't miss it.
So I die everyday, sinking into nothing like the sun.
And if I could grow my wings again, I would shed all my skin.
I know someone who's drowning now, growing cold on dirty ground.
Entertaining my hate stare, I think it's me and I don't care.
And if you threw it all away, I wouldn't miss it.
If you killed the world today, I wouldn't miss it.
Look around my ugly face, I wouldn't miss it.
Broken in this lonely place, I wouldn't miss it.
No, no, no, no, no
Uh, wait
[Verse 1]
You, gotta excuse me
You see I went looking for yesterday
That’s where I think all the good memories of you and
me, went, yeah
So I’m swimming in a sea of forgetfulness
Just to get a glimpse of the you I remember, damn
(Damn)
[Pre-Chorus]
I miss you cause the one I’m lookin’ at right now
She, looks just like sounds just like feels just like
But I’m so confused cause she don’t seem like you
So when I get there
[Chorus]
I’ll be drowning , drowning
I’ll be drowning
In our memories
When I get there
I’ll be drowning
I’ll be drowning
I’ll be drowning
In our memories
I rather be there than here
[Verse 2]
I, don’t, want a life saver (No)
Unless it's gonna save this love
If it’s not that leave me right here
Let me breathe in the moments I won’t let go, of
I wish you’d get back to that girl
The one that I remember as my lover, damn (Damn)
[Pre-Chorus]
I miss her cause the one I’m lookin’ at right now
She, looks just like sounds just like feels just like
But I’m so confused cause she don’t seem like you
So when I get there
[Chorus]
I’ll be drowning, drowning
I’ll be drowning
In our memories
When I get there
I’ll be drowning
I’ll be drowning
I’ll be drowning
In our memories
I rather be there than here
I rather be there than here
I rather be there than here
I rather be there than here
Than here
Tell me what's your destination
Do you speak the truth like me
Tell me what's your destination
Do you want to live for free
I'm drowning in circles I
Feel everything
I'm drowning in circles I
Alone
And you speak answers that I can't hear
And you talk in voices you speak so clear
And you say you're sorry time again in here
I'm drowning in circles I
Feel everything
I'm drowning in circles I
Alone
I'm drowning in circles I
Feel everything
I'm drowning in circles
Alone
If something falls beneath this
If something comes about
If time keeps on wasting away with doubt
In this I speak my sorrows
In this I call my own
I'm going away from nothing
I'm finding my way back where I used to be
When all was safe and all was free
And now you're gone so I waste away
And now I find there's nothing left to say
To you
I'm drowning in circles I
I'm drowning in circles I
I'm drowning in circles I
I'm drowning in circles I
This is how I feel like
Is like somebody tight me up
Make me wake up late
Push me over board
Watch me... girl I am drowning
I am drowning
I can't even sleep tonight
I can't even eat... love feel like without you next to me
Got me picking at my phone
Hoping that you are close
Tell em that youa re coming home
Baby that anticipation is driving me crazy
Why you want to tease me
Girls this ain't easy
Now let me tell you how it feels like
Is like somebody tight me up
Make me wake up late
Push me over board
Watch me... girl I am drowning

I am beeing incomplete
Cause you got the missing piece I need
Girl you wanna cuddle girl whatever
Whatever you like you got me
Got me thinking at my phone
Hoping that you call tell me you are coming home
Baby that anticipation is driving me crazy
And now you wanna tease me girl this ain't easy
Let me tell you how I feel
Chorus
Is like somebody tight me up
Make me wake up late
Push me over board

Girl I can feel your body against my body
Just when you are close to me show you how it supposed to be
Is like I am drowning now somebody help me out
Somebody help me cause I feel like I am drowning
Chorus
Is like somebody tight me up
Make me wake up late
Push me over board
Watch me... girl I am drowning
"I’m bored," she said. "Let’s go torture something." So I
wait in line all day – just me and the phone booth while
she goes through the shit we own, finding what’s
unnecessary. Three pairs of clothes, one pair of shoes.
Nothing else we really use. She said, "Let’s slow the day
down, darling, so it all don’t… slip away." I catch a
glimpse of a future picture, the only thing that we will
still own. Naked and cold in an empty room, but I’m happy
‘cause I still got you. And your happy ‘cause you still
got… cigarettes. Yesterday I had a quarter. And I know I
didn’t eat it. I’ll make the same mistakes. Won’t care
‘til my body needs it. Three pairs of clothes, one pair
of shoes. Nothing else we really use, like food and
sleep. We don’t like to think about tomorrow when we are
in this deep. That’s the trick to a happy life. Spend
every moment dying. Some people were born to float. Lord
knows I’ve forgotten how to swim, sinking. And neither of
I'm drowning in my tears without love
I'm trembling , I am none without love
My blood is freezing in my heart
I'm shivering, I am cold without love
Now I'm all alone
After you are gone
How can i survive
You took my love, you took my life
Now I'm all alone
After you are gone
How can i survive
You took my love, you took my life
I'm drowning ... without love
I'm tremb ... without love
My blood is freez... in my heart
I'm shivering, I am cold ...
... I'm all alone
After ... are gone
How ... survive
You took my ..., you took my life
Now I'm all alone
After you are gone
How can i survive
Oh love, I don't wanna be lonely
don't wanna go crazy now
Oh love, I need to be faithful,
need to be resting now
Oh love, I'm starting to sink into my emotional sea
I need to hold on now, why couldn't you stay with me
It's bigger than what, bigger than what it seems
I'm drowning deeper into my own fears
I'm tied up into my own mind
I'm the only one who can hear me
Oh love, why didn't you come find me
it's getting painful now
Oh love, it's like you're right behind me
you're next to me somehow
every minute I wait
you're further away from me
unlock these chains
cause right now I can't breathe
It's bigger than what, bigger than what it seems
I'm drowning deeper into my own fears
I'm tied up into my own mind
Pain inside my soul, pain before my eyes,
Silent glittering waves, screaming flowing light,
I wasn't born to stay alive, and I don't want to see your light.
Water in my nose, water in my mouth,
Depths are getting close, and bubbles flying high,
I wasn't born to stay alove, and I don't want to see your light,
I'm drowning...
Life is pouring down, death holds me tight,
Sinking in your eyes, falling in the night,
I wasn't born to stay alive, and I don't want to see your light,
stay with me just for the day and
let your soul come and rest for a minute now
share your mind, if you have some time
i would love to sit and talk to you.
i would wait, if you asked me to,
but i, wont stay here forever now
i know your heart could keep me warm
just let me stay
[chorus]
i feel that
your eyes aren't always open
and these dreams, my
heart i cant deceive them
maybe the moon
will come down and save me
maybe your eyes
will stop me from falling
oh i'm drowning yea
oh i'm drowning yea
oh i'm drowning yea
oh i'm drowning yea
[chorus]
what can i say, what can i do
is there anyway to get close to you
i put myself into your shoes
and walk around these streets of yours
its cold outside, will you stay
but my heart is not far away
so take a breath and close your eyes
i want to hold you
[chorus]
i feel that
your eyes aren't always open
and these dreams, my heart
I cant deceive them
maybe the moon
will come down and save me
maybe your eyes
will stop me from falling
oh i'm drowning yea (you know that i can't lift my head)
oh i'm drowning yea
oh i'm drowning yea
oh i'm drowning yea (& i can't catch my breath
[chorus]
oh i'm drowning
i'm falling
