Drowning Lessons

It feels like drowning
Gasping for breath
Under the weight
Of my consciousness

Before these stitches
All pull apart
Before this pressure
Has stopped my heart

Tell me it's alright
That I've lost my lust for life
Show me through the cloud
That has followed me around

It feels like drowning
When I'm alone
If only I could breathe on my own

Before these stitches
All pull apart
Before this pressure
Has stopped my heart

Tell me it's alright
That I've lost my lust for life
Show me through the cloud
That has followed me around

Please silence the voice 
Inside my head
Before I have made my own death bed
Prevent me from pulling at this thread
Before it's all over
