Drowning (a song for *unnamed person*)

I’m drowning in cold black water
(the numbness eats at me / i like this death better than life)
Trying not to scream
(If I screamed you would hear me / you come and try to save me)
I don’t want out

(CHORUS)
If you let me fall I’ll die
Aren’t you even going to try?
Don’t listen to a word I say
I don’t know myself anyway
God, pull me out of here

Not breathing feels good right now
(suffocation is my answer / the water hides my tears)
Hiding in my sin
(It’s a blanket it’s a cycle / a quicker way to end the pain)
I’ll sink to the bottom

CHORUS

(bridge)
You’re pulling me up / slowly
You’ve got Your reasons / for dragging it out
I see Your face / lovely
so how much longer?
how much longer?
[end]

Who are you? [Are you ok?]

I write a lot of songs; here’s one of them.

She walked into the room, a tear in her eye

What’s up? I ask, I’m good, she says, we both knew it was a lie

He walked into the room, she broke into a smile

Though it wasn’t her thing at all, she flirted and exerted her wiles

Who’s this girl really? She doesn’t even know

The more she hides, she hurts herself/It just goes to show

Chorus: Everybody’s singing and everybody’s dancing but nobody is really alright

Everybody’s laughing but no one trusts the other with the reason’s they’re not feeling fine

I stand on the sidelines, watching her dreams go by

It’s a cheap parody of life, someday she will die

What will it all have been for? A well-staged play?

Does she plan it all out before each day?

I can’t stand it anymore, this won’t be you

Life is a battle not a chore, start being true

CHORUS

Can I promise you one thing

I’ll never judge you

I’ll always love you

I’ll always love you
