Lyrics
He wakes and feels as though he's drowning He falls to bed and screams at the sky He tries so hard to live If He would just forgive him For what he's done He doesn't know For forgiveness He doesn't show He's drowning x4 Chorus: He drowns among The books and words That are thrown at him Each time he turns Can't get a break As there's no pause in life Hearts here appease to his mind And now his mind to other kinds Of work As the city consumes him V2: He's blinded by the sun When he stares up at the future for too long He ponders all the irony Of how doing right could make him feel so wrong Everything's so crazy He's gonna explode Earth's on fire And now he knows That he can't move forward And he can't move back Pretty soon he's gonna snap Because he- Chorus: Bridge: Now he sits down in the dark And he makes his final mark Pen in hand, mind ablaze He'll do it in the dark May his sole refuge elude him Could the world please just excuse him To rest his head Just like the dead thoughts that refuse him He wishes all of this would stop... Stop... Stop drowning...
