Drowning

DROWNING By Kevin Robey June 21, 2013 I’ve got this bad disease That haunts my daily dreams No dispose of the rage inside Flash the smile of my disguise Pretend you’ve figured it out Tell them you don’t have a doubt Or show them your demon wings And hear their warning bells ring One day they’ll finally let you be You’ll cast your sails into the sea No better part of me, can’t you see? The captor and the captive, never free I always found questions but never the cure Your eyes kept me so bright and so pure I can’t resist the lure any more, just carry on Fading echoes of the fighting songs are gone This is the status quo, a fairly average day Heads or tails they say, doesn’t matter anyway This is the time I look ahead and leave it behind I’ll stare at the sun until the fire leaves me blind Gone from the world, I’ll see no more pain Black or white they say, it’ll all be the same It will not matter if it’s day or if it’s night The world will fade to my imaginary design These are the thoughts that brought me to this drain Take the world from my eyes that caused all this pain Let the raging sea claim every single part of me The world will never hear this final, desperate plea Just save yourself It’s too late for me I’m drowning again Drowning again…
