How To Drown
Sitting here staring at the wall trying to figure out the point of it all. Why do I try to be happy when my source is taken away. Why do I fight to smile, when all I want to do is end it all today?

How do I cure myself? Teach me to swallow my emptiness. How do I drown away all this pain that I feel? What is wrong with me, why can't I get it together? Seems all my old devices just make the hollow in my soul grow a little more. So I think today is the day, that I find a new way to drown


I was brought up to love on call, unconditionally. Well it's not the ones I love that hurt me most but watching them wave as I leave. I'm never in one place to long and as soon as I love something it's gone.


How do I cure myself? Teach me to swallow my emptiness. How do I drown away all this pain that I feel? What is wrong with me, why can't I get it together? Seems all my old devices just make the hollow in my sould grow a little more. So I think today is the day, I find a new way to drown


I tie the bricks around my ankles jump off and take the plunge. I feel the water surround me as it enters my lungs. Is this the path I wanna take, can't change my mind now it's too late. I just found out I don't wanna die, someone save me.


Come and cure me, take care of my emptiness. Show me how to ease the pain I feel. Help me fight what's wrong with me. Help me get it together so I can see if I can find a way to make that hollow in my soul grow no more. Show that there is a way for my soul to liberate from this pain or else I'm going to have to find a new way to drown.
