I closed my eyes again last night, Hoping for dreams of the misery I love so much The kind you can only bring The sweet, cold touch of your fingers Or the disgustingly loving sound of your spiteful voice Anything to get me out of this terrible nightmare But there's no feeling here but perpetual numbness As I lay here staring into the darkness My lungs grow heavy with the cries I've stifled, With the frigid breaths that I dare not breathe in your presence Even though you're gone now And there's only an empty space where you once sat beside me I can't do anything here by drown Filling the room with my tears so that I'm left Drowning again in the unbarable sea of silence That you had found me in so long ago Holding me by that delicate thread And dangling me above the water's edge I believed so much in the light you gave me But it was blinding and by the time you had let me go I was already deeply submerged under the surface of my dispair once again My eyes locked hazily on the distant figure of you as you left But drowning is a hobby of mine And I'll do it again tomorrow night

Drowning Is A Hobby
I closed my eyes again last night, Hoping for dreams of the misery I love so much The kind you can only bring The sweet, cold touch of your fingers Or the disgustingly loving sound of your spiteful voice Anything to get me out of this terrible nightmare But there's no feeling here but perpetual numbness As I lay here staring into the darkness My lungs grow heavy with the cries I've stifled, With the frigid breaths that I dare not breathe in your presence Even though you're gone now And there's only an empty space where you once sat beside me I can't do anything here by drown Filling the room with my tears so that I'm left Drowning again in the unbarable sea of silence That you had found me in so long ago Holding me by that delicate thread And dangling me above the water's edge I believed so much in the light you gave me But it was blinding and by the time you had let me go I was already deeply submerged under the surface of my dispair once again My eyes locked hazily on the distant figure of you as you left But drowning is a hobby of mine And I'll do it again tomorrow night
