When it feels like you're drowning
And the bubbles are rising
As they pull on your ankle
And you're screaming and crying

"Let go of me, I can still fight"
Your eyes turn up and you can still see the light
You kick and you scream
With all your might

But those nails drag at your skin
And you take a deep breath in
Those hands are gone
Oh how much easier it is to cave in

Your feet, wrapped in chains
You realize fighting was all in vain
And you sink below
As water fills your veins
