Standing In Water

Standing in water beginning to rise Over my knees now past my thighs What have I done here? Beginning to drowned Everything that goes up, must come down I’m drowning in water, I’m drowning in shame I’m drowning and I’m the only one to blame I ‘m drowning in water. I’m drowning in guilt I’m drowning and there’s no way out Suffocation I cant breathe The only way now to escape me Letting go of the past The only way I will last I’m drowning in water, I drowning in shame I’m drowning and I’m the only one that’s to blame I’m drowning in water, I’m drowning in guilt I’m drowning and there’s no way out Running away is all that’s left Hiding away, what I do best Doing wrong is all I know how There’s no good left in me now I’m drowning in water, I’m drowning in shame I’m drowning and I’m the only one that’s to blame I’m drowning in water I’m drowning in guilt I’m drowning and there’s no way out I’m drowning in water and there’s no escape No escape from me
