Golden boys and pretty girls,
blue ties and pink frills,
bodies beneath the floor boards,
eleven different kills.

We were the picture of sophistication,
Red lipstick and champagne glasses,
but now I've traded in my glass display case and dresses
for padded rooms and suicide jackets,

All I wanted was to make you happy,
but I was drowning in this glass box you built me,
I'm so sorry,
but this box can't control my raging demons
. . .
and neither can I.

I am under the ocean and
I can barely breath
I'm drowning from emotions
that are overtaking me
I need some air now
I need to breath
I need to get out of the water surrounding me
My eyes are burning
I can barely see
My skin is wrinkled
I can't feel a thing
Waves come to push me away
I'm keep trying to move forward
But I’m moving the wrong way
A part of me that wants quit swimming
Then I fall and see blue glistening

I am drifting away,
But in the hopes
That the water will take away the redness in my my eyes
As I lay underneath
Questioning my life
And the pain
That coats my soul every day
Will drown beneath misery;
that was only choking on silent broken bottles
And all the the thoughts
Of cutting my bones
And all of the problems in my life
Will fade
When the final bonds on earth
Are broken
When we drown underneath
The water

Smiling, genuine and bright.
Smiling, only seeing the light.
Smiling, never seeing the hurt.
Smiling, then getting kicked in the dirt.

Forgotten, left to rot and decay.
Forgotten, left to wither away.
Forgotten, forever and ever alone.
Forgotten, though sadness not shown.

Crying, full of mounds of fear.
Crying, nobody close to hear.
Crying, unable to stand on my own.
Crying, forever and ever alone...

Drowning, in my pond of tears.
Drowning, breathless, for years and years.
Drowning, choking on pain and guilt.
Drowning... Breaking the walls that had just been built.

sometimes the whole world stops for lightseconds
and the air becomes stifling and it gets hard to breathe
i start suffocating
for a very long time i believed that all people perceive the world like that
that every one sometimes feels like drowning in the ocean
even when they are just standing in rain
that all sometimes feel too weak to swim against the current
but i guess i was wrong
just me is that kind of weak
& i don't really suffocate
i am just being delusional in a world i cannot escape from
help me

I want cold ice on the rock,
Shake the bottle, stir it up,
and then scramble it into multiple shots.
Sell the bottle, leave the glass,
empty the bowels into my shot-glass.
Hurry it up and don't forget it's precise,
let the drops drip down into the ice.
Give me my malt beer that I asked for,
And don't shake that up for my vocal recital.
I gave my all and let it drown and die,
so now I down my sorrow by drinking
Gulping, *******, drowning
Allowing my feelings to float high in the sky.
Then it crashes down, reaches to my very core,
and then that's when I drink some more.

I am nothing
without a soul
just a hollow shell.

I am nothing
without my thoughts
just a fool on the line.

I have nothing
left to give
I am just running from myself.

I wish I had something
left to hold on to
feels like I'm drowning in the sand.

I feel nothing
running all alone
till I bleed myself dry.

I am nothing
without you
I wish you could've stayed
I don't know where you're gone.

I’m helplessly adrift at sea
The sinking ship abandoned me
The sky is dark, that water’s cold
I can’t find any breath to hold

Sinking beneath an icy wave
Where I find the death I crave
I try to fight against the gloom
But in the water I’m surely doomed

I close my eyes, accept my fate
A saviour comes, but it’s too late.
