i can't swim numb nights i lie awake while the world rest asleep tears softly drop aching me gagging me i can't distract my ears my eyes my hands it's too late to draw run work torture myself with pictures and replay the slowest of songs my heart lay numb because a broken heart will only become more broke i picture you in my mind my chest heaves and my throat clenches tighter jealousy anger fear i cannot feel your touch on my skin anymore hiding under the covers the monsters still claw from under over within i will never escape i'm not drowning i just don't know how to swim.

i can't swim
i can't swim numb nights i lie awake while the world rest asleep tears softly drop aching me gagging me i can't distract my ears my eyes my hands it's too late to draw run work torture myself with pictures and replay the slowest of songs my heart lay numb because a broken heart will only become more broke i picture you in my mind my chest heaves and my throat clenches tighter jealousy anger fear i cannot feel your touch on my skin anymore hiding under the covers the monsters still claw from under over within i will never escape i'm not drowning i just don't know how to swim.
