the swell of emotional decay
a confused bleeding of the soul
tempted into darkness
bound by the illusion of control
like running underwater
I'm not getting anywhere
the more i try to forget
the more i seem to care
i stole a breath so heavy
i felt my chest would collapse
under the weight
of my own mistakes
I'm left barren and alone
i cant see the world
through this milky film of pain
and the harder i look the more i see
me in all my self pity
...and I'm drowning all the same
like running under water
I'm not getting any air
the more i try to forget
the more i seem to care
