   drowning
   can't breathe
   the waves are too big
pulling me under
panic
   can't breathe
   burning lungs
I need air

too deep
   I dived too deep
can't get out

lost all orientation
   see nothing but darkness
which way is up?
where is the surface?

all pride and confidence
stripped away
memories on slideshow
fast mode

I don't want to die yet
too much I still want to do
places I want to see
people I haven't talked to

but I can't breathe

someone is screaming
in my head
to wake up
keep fighting

what?

it's hopeless
too far under
it's too late
I am drowning
