I was drowning

It's so dark

I can't breathe

My lungs burn

Inside of me

I'm floating in this darkness

The void is endless

I'm so cold, my body aches

So much pressure is crushing me

It's not fake can't you see

In the distance I see your light

I can't get to it, how hard I fight

I want to let go, to see the end

But I open my eyes and I'm back again

Back to the place I see in my dreams

The place no one hears my screams

Oh how it's haunting me

The pain is eating at my soul

Why must this world be so froze

There's too much pain, too much pressure

So much I cannot measure

I cannot breathe but that's alright

I think I'll give up on this fight

You might find me, though I have sunk

So small my life has shrunk

Letting go, is for me

As You take a stroll by the sea

You couldn't save me, it's not your fault

So I took a breath of the salt

If anyone comes to ask around

Just go and tell them that I drowned
