Drown Out

 

Death, breath, death

The world comes at you fast

With no time to react 

But I’m trying

With all my might 

To keep my head above water

I’m trying to be a hero

But I’m sinking 

Into the darkness

The silent emptiness 

I sip and try and breathe

My drinks almost done

The liquor store closed

And the bar is too 

How am I suppose to drown out everything I’m feeling. 

The flood is long gone 

That ending is deposed 

So what can I do 

How am I suppose to drown out everything I’m feeling. 

Pain, scream, pain

Yes nothing ever lasts 

More of life’s  painful facts 

Where is the lie

Not in my sight 

Can I try to tread this falter 

I’m trying to move past zero 

But I can’t add

Anything to this

Every try is a miss 

I gasp and cry for me

My drinks almost done

The liquor store closed

And the bar is too 

How am I suppose to drown out everything I’m feeling. 

The flood is long gone 

That ending is deposed 

So what can I do 

How am I suppose to drown out everything I’m feeling. 

More and more and more

Until it’s all blurry and I don’t remember 

Anything and that’s okay 

Let me be numb rather than feel this pain 

My drinks almost done

The liquor store closed

And the bar is too 

How am I suppose to drown out everything I’m feeling. 

The flood is long gone 

That ending is deposed 

So what can I do 

How am I suppose to drown out everything I’m feeling.
