I drown my sorrows
Hoping to become happy
I burn my pain
Hoping to become stronger

I reject love
And embrace hate instead
In fear of losing myself
Yet I lost myself

While drowning my sorrows
and burning my pain
My sorrows became my happiness
And my pain became my strength

I reject love
And embrace hate instead
Only to protect you
From what I have become
