Talking To My Echo

I can't hold on, I can't let go... I keep on breathing But each breath is suffocating. My heart keeps pounding But in my own blood, I'm sinking. I wanna hold on, I wanna let go... Smiling if I'm sad. Frowning when I'm glad. The past feels like a dream, The future, a nightmare. I'm not holding on, I'm not letting go... Here's the feeling I can't express: There's a fret I can't suppress. Words, thoughts I've been screaming to you Come back as whispers Like I'm talking to my echo. Tired of holding on, Afraid of letting go... I don't wanna die But I keep on killing myself. I need a reason to live. I need the sun to wake me From my restless sleep. I can't hold on, I can't let go... Hands stuck in the solid air, Standing on waters, crystal clear. Hanging on to the nothingness, Begging for help from the emptiness. If I did hold on, If I do let go... If I fall deep into the sea, I only wanted to see: If I disappear, Would anyone care? Shed a single tear? Pull me up here? As the gravity drags me deeper... As the light vanishes from my sight... As the waters conceal my tears falling... As I keep on holding on, As I finally let go... As I talk to my echo... And drowning...
