Drowning
DROWNING
By Kevin Robey

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…
