Drowning

I know I'm not alone here
Here in the water
And I'm not the only one
Slowly being slaughtered

But ever time I'm immersed
I fall into sleep
I no longer feel
It's simply too deep

But to flee is to fail
To stay under's to die
Neither are choices
So I have to try

I'll enter my solitude
I'll sit in my chair
And cut off all distraction
I'll make still the air

And I'll try to focus
On being perfectly still
But I cannot float
And water moves to kill

So immersed in the ocean
I'm perfectly dry
And still here I'm drowning
As I gasp out goodbye

Maybe I'll be 'round tomorrow
In a speeding van with lights
But as for right now
I breathe no more tonight
