Drown
JUST ABOVE THE SURFACE
STRUGGLING TO SURVIVE
WEIGHTED DOWN WITH SADNESS
AS MY SOUL DESCENDS IT'S DIVE
TIRED FROM THE STRUGGLE
SWALLOWING THE PAIN
SINKING TO THE BOTTOM
WILL I FLOAT BACK UP AGAIN?
DO I HAVE STRENGTH WITHIN ME
TO FIGHT AGAINST THE TIDES?
I NEED TO WIN THIS BATTLE
TO MAKE THE HURT SUBSIDE
SO ONCE AGAIN I RALLY
TO REACH BEYOND THE CREST
I RISE UP TO THE SURFACE
IN TIME TO CATCH MY BREATH.
TODAY I AM THE VICTOR
THE DARKNESS LOST THE FIGHT
THE SADNESS DIDN'T DROWN ME
TODAY I'LL BE ALRIGHT
TOO SOON IT WILL RETURN
TRY TO STEAL MY JOY AWAY
I HOPE I SEE IT COMING
IN TIME TO SWIM AWAY.
