Ready to drown

 

You know what I’m feeling

you know what I’d say

you know it’s not healing

you know it’s never going away.

 

I know you’re inside of it

I know it’s all gone

I know it’s fallen beside of it

I know that everything’s wrong.

 

Standing on top of the world as it all falls down

swimming in an ocean and I’m ready to drown

so suddenly as deafening without a sound

in a pile of lost souls searching nowhere bound,

Breaking down...

Fucked in the sense of displacement, suffocation

no more regrets as civility breaks with hesitation

wasting away as, of course, with no restoration

burning inside of this strangulation, self deprivation.

 

You know the way it’s going

you know it’s not alright

you know what the picture’s showing

you know it’s drifting out of sight.

 

I know because it’s in front of me

I know you’re out of time

I know the tongue spits blasphemy

I know this is the end of the line.

 

Fucked in the sense of displacement, suffocation

burning inside of this strangulation, self deprivation.
