Drowning

172 12 10
                                    

Down down down
I'd hope you'd pull me up
But you suppress me
You push in the wrong direction
You pull in the wrong direction
Farther from the finish line
Even passed the beginning

So deep I can't remember the surface
I don't remember you smile
All I see is your frown
Your eyes so bright
Now they hold no light
No soul

No
Your soul is still there
It's just buried deep
So deep you can't even see it
My heart so light and happy
Is now a weight
Getting heavier and heavier
The farther down I go

I can no longer breath
The current has me
Through the hallways
And down the lunch line
I sweep, not stopping
Not realizing I can't move
I can't feel

At home
I feel your stare
I feel your criticism
I feel your hurt
Your lucky you don't feel mine

I built the river with my tears
My feelings
Down down down
I'm drowning in myself
My aspirations
My insides come out

Until there is nothing left to cry away
Erosion tears at my soul
Under all the water
All the tears
All the feeling
I'm there

Somewhere deep but not gone
I don't know if I'm
Surfacing
Sinking
Or floating there

It feels like a mix of both
One step up two steps down
Down down down
