I’m drowning in words Not because I have nothing to say But because there’s too much They gather at the edge of my lips Freezing there And I don’t think he would listen I’m drowning in emotions Not knowing what I truly feel right now Disappointed, angry, and sad Yet wanting to be happy, joyful, and calm So I keep it all myself Forcing a smile Even when it takes everything in me I’m drowning in daydreams White, pink, and yellow The only colors I let myself see Even though I love blue I push it away Because blue tells the truth And I just want to smile I’m drowning in myself So deep I barely recognize who I am I feel the need to speak To let the world drown in my words To shout that I’m tired of it But I can’t So I let the world choose my path As if I were never here

Unsaid, Unseen
I’m drowning in words Not because I have nothing to say But because there’s too much They gather at the edge of my lips Freezing there And I don’t think he would listen I’m drowning in emotions Not knowing what I truly feel right now Disappointed, angry, and sad Yet wanting to be happy, joyful, and calm So I keep it all myself Forcing a smile Even when it takes everything in me I’m drowning in daydreams White, pink, and yellow The only colors I let myself see Even though I love blue I push it away Because blue tells the truth And I just want to smile I’m drowning in myself So deep I barely recognize who I am I feel the need to speak To let the world drown in my words To shout that I’m tired of it But I can’t So I let the world choose my path As if I were never here
