You are the water in my lungs,

Yes, the thing that suffocates me,
and it's close to bringing me under,
but somehow, I know, I'll stand strong,
long after you're gone,

Looks as if it may rain tonight,
let it wash away all the pain,
wash away all the reason to cry,
I love the rain, for this reason,
it's truly cleansing you see,
brings me back, for a glimpse at who I used to be.

You are the water in my lungs,
and toxins wander through my veins,

So, do you now see what you do to me?
its not too hard to see,
for you suffocate me,
quite slowly,
and as I slip away,
I want you to know,
It was you who did this to me
This was inspired by the song 'City Lights' By motionless in white
