Its terrifying here The kind of cold that makes your bones ache Is this hell? Is this some kind of agony? Am I still drowning? They say that drowning is horrible if you hold your breath But if you give up and inhale the water You get some kind of relief Your brain is starved of oxygen Your lungs fill to full capacity Why does it feel so tempting? The salt water stings your eyes There's nothing left to hope for Nothing left to breathe You can pray to god Or you can curse him for a remedy But you still drown And your body sinks There's no fighting it You are drowning Just as you've always been
