Drowning by Jay Brannan
Drowning lyrics
it�s four a.m. again
father, forgive me this sin
uncomfortable in this life, yeah
I can�t put down this knife, yeah
I�m carving words in my arms, baby
hey, scars are part of my charm, maybe
I need the touch of a hand
this isn�t what i had planned
[Chorus]
I need relief from this life
I wanna slip away into the night
don�t wanna see the sun again
but can�t get swallowed up by this tragic whirlwind
I wish the ocean was warm
I feel like drowning
I�m losing my faith in me
I can�t remember the last time i felt free
from voices inside my head
when I taste liberation, they just feed me fear instead
you say I�m out of control
at least i still have a soul
no, I don�t need your advice
some compassion would be nice
[Chorus]
I can�t take any more of your pills
they hold my head up
but still it feels so wrong
I can�t believe the price that I�ve paid
for this chemically-induced, perceivably ideal, take-it-with-a-glass-of-water day
[Chorus]
